Mr. Bob Ainsworth

The procedures and guidance for meetings of the Drug Precursor Committee are contained in Articles 10 of both European Union Council Regulation 3677/90 and European Union Council Directive 92/109.

The Committee usually meets every quarter and the next meeting is scheduled to take place in Brussels on 19 September 2002.

The United Kingdom Government is a member of the Committee, represented at all meetings by the Home Office, the lead United Kingdom Government Department for this Committee. When necessary other Government Departments also attend and it is open to the Scottish Executive to do so.

The Scottish Executive is regularly consulted on, and is fully involved in, discussions with the Home Office at official and Ministerial level on the formulation of European Union policies that touch on matters falling within the responsibilities of the Scottish Executive.
