Financial desaster for our networks
The European civil society
organised at a EU level

3 European networks of professionals
 15 operational networks (projects)
 2 networks of cities or local representatives
 2 reformist networks
Limits and needs
Networks are too specific
Some actors are not represented
Cooperation between local projects
Not opened and no capacity to communicate
Lack of human ressources
No common space (competition)
Financial difficulties
Institution / civil society
partnerships
Based on money…
Complexicity of the EU system
Financing by project is unadapted
The biggest projects are favoured
Only administrative exchanges with EC
No regular consultation

EFDP: What to do ?

to develop the exchanges, coordination and cooperation between all the actors involved in the
European drugs policies in order to optimise the
impact of the public policies and of the actions of
the civil society.

The aim is not to promote a single policy but to
encourage the exchanges between the different
experiences and to promote the points of
consensus
