Summary:Regulation (EU) 2023/1322 - adopted by the co-legislators on 27 June 2023 - revising the mandate of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) and transforming it into the European Union Drugs Agency. It repeals Regulation (EC) No 1920/2006. Further information:This Regulation establishes the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA). It replaces and succeeds the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) established by Regulation (EC) No 1920/2006. Following the fourth evaluation of the Centre in line with the requirements of the Regulation, the European Commission concluded that while it worked well, further improvements were possible in several areas. The finding was further substantiated during contacts with the EMCDDA and its stakeholders. It became clear that Regulation (EC) No 1920/2006 did not reflect an evolving reality of the drug phenomenon and was out of step with the tasks the Centre needed to perform to address the related challenges. The EU Drugs Strategy 2021-2025 and the EU Drugs Action Plan 2021-2025 call for a revision of the mandate of the EMCDDA. The European Commission adopted a draft law on 12 January 2022 delivering on that commitment. The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach to the proposed Regulation on 9 June 2022. The European Parliament's relevant committee adopted a negotiating position on 1 December, which was later endorsed by the plenary in the same month. A informal agreement between the co-legislators on a compromise text for this file was reached on 28 March 2023. This was formally endorsed by the Parliament on 13 June and by the Council on 27 June. The Act was signed by the co-legislators on 27 June 2023 and published in the Official Journal on 30 June 2023. |
