Decentralized Community agencies: establishment of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction EMCDDA (amend. Regul. 302/93/EEC)

The European Parliament approved the Commission proposal subject to the following amendment: The financial regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Community applies in principle to the Monitoring Centre. Consequently, the European Parliament is also required to give its opinion (on an equal footing with the Commission and the Court of Auditors) before the management board decides on the internal financial arrangements for implementing the Monitoring Centre's budget.�
