WRITTEN QUESTION E-0081/02 by Mihail Papayannakis (GUE/NGL) to the Commission. Drugs in prisons.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0081/02

by Mihail Papayannakis (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(25 January 2002)

Subject: Drugs in prisons

According to a recent report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, more
than 50 % of prison inmates in the EU take drugs. The report reveals wide differences between the Member
States. For example, Portugal and Spain have the highest levels of consumption, Austria the lowest.

Given that the fight against drugs is a top EU priority, will the Commission say what measures it has taken
to date to combat this particular aspect of the problem and with what results? Does its action plan on
drugs (2000-2004) include practical measures to combat drug trafficking in prisons?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(21 February 2002)

The annual report of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) states
that ‘problem drug users and/or intravenous drug users … may represent up to 50 % of the prison
population in some areas’. As the Honourable Member points out, the percentages for drug use among
prison inmates vary considerably from one Member State to another.

Prison policy is a matter for the Member States. In its Drugs Strategy for 2000-2004, the Union stresses
the importance of developing preventive measures applicable to the prison environment, alternatives to
imprisonment and special facilities for addicted prisoners.

Furthermore, on the basis of a Commission proposal, the Feira European Council on 19 and 20 June 2000
approved the Action Plan on Drugs (2000-2004) (1), in which Member States are encouraged to intensify
their efforts to provide drug prevention and treatment services and, where appropriate, measures to reduce
health related damage for inmates while in prison and on their release.

On the basis of contributions from the Member States, the Commission will carry out an evaluation of the
entire action plan on drugs at mid-term (end-2002) and at the end of the period concerned (end-2004). It
will give careful attention to the prison policy aspect and will, where appropriate, consider any initiatives
that might be taken in this field.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0053/02

by Wolfgang Kreissl-Dörfler (PSE) to the Council

(25 January 2002)

Subject: Framework agreement between the Teutonic Order, DOH International division, and the

Commission

In March 1999, the Hospitalers of the Teutonic Order (DOH) International and the Commission signed an
initial contract for a framework agreement worth EUR 2,95 million to finance an aid programme in several
countries in Asia. This was reported in issue number 4/1999 of ‘DO aktuell’, the magazine of the Order’s
German branch (Brüderprovinz). Since November 2000, the Teutonic Order, a public body, (headquarters:
Weyarn-Upper Bavaria), has been experiencing financial difficulties.

1. What were the content and the aim of the above agreement?

2. What terms and conditions had to be met to obtain EU funds?

3.

How much money has been paid out?

4. What information is available about the experiences and the results of DOH’s development work?

5.

7.

Is there any documentation showing how the money has been spent? If so, what kind?

Have further agreements been concluded between the Commission and DOH? If so, which?

Is the present cooperation with DOH continuing or has it already ended?

What is the Spanish presidency’s position on the reform and constitutionalisation of the Treaties, envisaged
in the Laeken Declaration? Does it consider that the reform should go as far as the formulation of a
European Union Constitution?

Reply

(13 May 2002)

The Presidency responds to questions on behalf of the Council. It would be inappropriate for the Council
to take a view on the position of any Member State on the reform and constitutionalisation of the Treaties.
