1 Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 1 Note 1 A number of studies have been conducted in preparation for the present policy document, for which the results formed part of the basis. Compilations of the material in question will be published separately by the Stichting Toekomstscenario's Gezondheidszorg (Organisation for Future Scenarios in Health Care) and the Science Policy and Development Department of the Ministry of Justice and by the research institutes concerned. Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 2 Note 2 According to a United Nations report 5 million people die each year from the use of alcohol and tobacco, whereas the most pessimistic estimate of the total number of drug deaths throughout the world is 200,000 (UN, ECOSOC, 1995).

2 Note 5 The use of drugs in itself is not a criminal offence in Germany, Denmark, Spain, Greece, Portugal or the United Kingdom either.

3 Based on recent research by Bieleman et al. (1995a) and reactions to it by experts from the research field. Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 11 Note 11 Kuipers et al., Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 12 Note 12 Some experts assume that crack is popular primarily among addicts who are not in a position to prepare their cocaine indoors in the appropriate manner. Repressive measures could thus encourage the emergence of a crack market (Organisation for Future Scenarios in Health Care (STG), 1995). Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 13 Note 13 UN, ECOSOC, This picture is confirmed by independent sources based on local estimates (Bless et al., 1993). Cf. also Van Brussel et al., 1995; Cobelens et al., Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 14 Note 14 3 / 22

Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 23 Note 23 5 / 22
6 "Drugsbeheersing door Legalisatie" (Drug control through legalisation), report submitted by a working party chaired by R. Dufour (September 1994). Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 24 Note 24 A survey conducted between 25 and 29 August 1994 among an aselect sample of members of the public revealed that 50% of the population is in favour of continuing the policy of tolerating soft drugs or of their legalisation. 45% is against this and would rather see tougher action on trafficking in soft drugs. Telepanel market research organisation, Amsterdam, figures provided to the Ministry of Justice. Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 25 Note 25 The international agreements of relevance in this context do not affect the applicability of the expediency principle - the principle that the authorities are not obliged to prosecute an offender but are required to weigh the importance of a repressive response against considerations of the general interest and special individual circumstances which militate against such a response. In so far as the 1988 UN Convention could interfere with the principle, the Netherlands has retained the freedom to pursue its own policy which depends upon the principle by entering a reservation (which was not contested) (Schutte, 1995).

About a quarter of addicts feature in police records four times or more per year on account of criminal offences (Bieleman et al., 1995a; Ministry of Justice, 1995).] Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 33 Note 33 Cozijn, Van Dijk, 1978; Swierstra, 1990, Korf and Leuw, 1992, Knauss and Erhardt (BKA, 1993).

13 Note 56 The Association of Netherlands Municipalities sent a brochure to its members in 1994 containing an extensive survey of the available administrative and legal instruments. In February 1993 a broadly-based working party chaired by P.H.A.J. Cremers drew up an overview of the various administrative, criminal law, civil law and aliens law options.

14 Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 61 Note 61 It should also be noted that not all countries use the same unambiguous system of recording amphetamines and synthetic drugs. In the case of amphetamines, for example, it should be borne in mind that in addition to the quantities in kilogrammes mentioned, quantities of tablets were also found, namely in Spain (6,000), the Netherlands (11,000) and Germany (over 250,000). In addition, only in the Netherlands was the seizure of kilogrammes of synthetic drugs (ecstasy etc.) recorded (101,000). Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 62 Note 62 National survey of criminal groups, Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 63 Note 63 In interpreting these data it should be borne in mind that they may be distorted by the very fact of registration. It may be assumed that more information is available about groups into which investigations are being or have been conducted and that according priority to certain groups or types of crime will also affect the amount of information available on them.

(1995) estimated that there were up to 50,000 small-scale growers. Other sources estimate there to be slightly fewer (approximately 35,000). A domestic grower with a few plants under a single light who harvests five times a year can produce a yield of approximately 1.5 kilogrammes. The total yield of about 35,000 domestic growers would then be approximately 50,000 kilogrammes, sufficient to meet current domestic demand. Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 69 Note / 22
16 In May and October 1994 interim reports were published by ConsultiuM on the volume of hemp cultivation and on the granting of permits under section 7 of the Opium Act.

Interpretations of the tenor of the various instruments are entirely the author's own. In no way can they be regarded or cited as views which can be attributed to the Legal Service of the Council of the European Union. Drugs policy in the Netherlands: Note 72 Note 72 The trial will require a one-off investment in 1996 of NLG 20 million (10 million to come from the Ministry of Justice, 9 million from the GSB/Municipality of Rotterdam and 1 million from the Ministry of the Interior).
