Conference on EU-CELAC response to drugs challenges

Confronting the world drug problem is a common challenge for all of us; in this light Drugs are an important chapter of the EU-CELAC (The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) relations. The EU has developed a comprehensive set of political, operational and technical exchanges and cooperation with Latin America and the Caribbean on this issue including the establishment of the Cooperation Programme on Drugs Policies - COPOLAD - which aims at developing an integrated, balanced and evidence-based approach. All these are seen today as indispensable for an effective global drug policy, as recognised by the UN General Assembly Special Session on the World Drug Problem (UNGASS) last April in New York.

 

Date: Wed, 28/09/2016 - 12:30 to Fri, 23/09/2016 - 14:00 

 

Venue: Rue de la Loi 43-45, Ground floor, Brussels

 

SPEAKERS:  Introduction: M. Jean-Paul Joulia, Head of Unit DEVCO G2, Regional Programmes for Latin America and the Caribbean.  

Presentations: Ms. Teresa Salvador-Llivina, Director of COPOLAD; Ms. Allele G. Reid; First Secretary/Consul, Jamaican Embassy and Mission to the European Union; M. Juan Guzik, First Secretary, Mission of Argentina to the European Union.
