EMCDDA operating guidelines for the European Union Early Warning System on new psychoactive substances
EMCDDA. European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction
These guidelines provide the rationale, steps, procedures, roles, and responsibilities for the operation of the EU Early Warning System. They reflect the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1920/2006 (as amended) and Council Framework Decision 2004/757/JHA (as amended) with respect to information exchange and the early warning system, as well as for the initial report, risk assessment, and control measures.
The European Commission is preparing a third phase of this programme, therefore COPOLAD will be back at the beginning of 2021.
