EU/Russia agreement: drug precursors

The Committee on International Trade adopted the report by Franck PROUST (EPP, FR) on the draft Council Decision on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement between the European Union and the Russian Federation on drug precursors.

It recommended that the European Parliament give its consent to the conclusion. It also indicated that it would be necessary to monitor its implementation and that it hoped for the conclusion to be followed up by other similar agreements with other third countries in the years to come.
