In the end of June 2006, the European Commission produced a Green Paper on the upcoming dialogue with civil society on drug policy in Europe, asking for comments to be sent in before 30 September.
ENCODs comments were summarised in the Green Pepper.
On 2 July 2007 European Commission finally published the comments it received on the Green Paper. At the same time, it announced a call for proposals to be included in a "Civil Society Forum on Drugs" that will consist of 30 representatives of European Civil Society who will be selected by the European Commission.
Every organisation or individual citizen could apply to be included in this Forum, by sending an application form before 17 August 2007.
On October 31st, 2007 the Commission published a list of 26 organisations who will be invited to take part in the first session of this dialogue on December 13th and 14th. ENCOD was invited and participated in this forum. Read the report.
