This article reports on a meeting in Vienna by European Union countries to discuss a draft policy
declaration of the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs at which they are expected to sign up to 10 more years of the “war on drugs”. The policy did not mention “harm reduction” strategies such as needle exchange programs that had been advocated. A European Commission report stated that the strategy had not made any progress in cutting supply or demand. Although the declaration is expected to be signed, some countries were going to file reservations, including Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Portugal, Spain, Finland and Slovenia.
