The programme of international cooperation of the European Community (EC) in the field of drugs has been in existence since 1987. The scope of the programme is wide and covers, in principle, all aspects of the drug problem in the partner countries. However, interdiction of illicit activities in drug production and trafficking has fallen so far outside the competence of EC, although it will be covered by the European Union once the Maastricht Treaty comes into force. Out of the experience gained in managing the programme, the author suggests that, to be effective, an integrated approach should provide an appropriate place for cooperating more fully in the field of law enforcement. The two priority areas of application of the programme should then be the prevention of drug abuse and the fight against trafficking-two areas which, in fact, tightly reinforce each other.
欧洲共同体（EC）在毒品领域的国际合作项目自1987年起便已存在。该项目范围广泛，原则上涵盖了伙伴国家毒品问题的各个方面。然而，尽管一旦《马斯特里赫特条约》生效，欧盟将负责打击毒品生产和贩运中的非法活动，但目前这一领域已超出了欧共体的权限范围。基于管理该项目所积累的经验，作者建议，为了提高成效，综合方法应在执法领域为更充分的合作提供适当的空间。该项目的两个优先应用领域应是预防药物滥用和打击贩运，事实上，这两个领域相互紧密强化。
