Catherine West – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Catherine West on 2016-10-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether the Government plans to continue to participate in the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction after the UK leaves the EU.

David Mowat

The United Kingdom currently participates actively in the work of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). Continued participation after the UK leaves the European Union would be a matter for negotiation. The Founding Regulation of the EMCDDA which was recast in 2006 makes provision for the participation of third countries.
