Amendment: EMCDDA assistance for applicant countries

This procedure updates the rules regarding how the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) provides technical assistance to countries applying to join the European Union. It ensures that future member states can align their drug monitoring and addiction data systems with EU standards before full accession.

This affects candidate countries seeking EU membership and the EMCDDA agency. It streamlines the process of sharing expertise and data to better combat drug trafficking and addiction across borders.
