Following an initiative of Sweden on adopting a Council Decision establishing a system of special forensic profiling analysis of synthetic drugs, the Council underlined the importance of a system based on the following: - the system shall primarily be based on the exchange of forensic data from forensic profiling results. Common protocols for the analysis of samples should be developed. - the question of possible implication for the Community budget shall be addressed in the light of an assessment that will be submitted to Council. - the system shall cover all synthetic drugs for which suitable common protocols can be developed and laboratories found, taking into account the prevalence of all drugs. �
