The Board was commended for arranging informal meetings with the main States importing and producing opiate raw materials.

The use of alcohol or benzodiazepines along with the usual dose of heroin is often the cause of overdose deaths in opiate addicts.

And they are the lucky ones. Only 5 of opiate users in Poland have access to methadone at all, compared to 40 in Germany.

(c) In arranging informal meetings, during the sessions of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, with the main States that import and produce opiate raw materials

Reiterating that a balance between consumption and production of opiate raw materials was achieved in the past as a result of efforts made by the two traditional supplier countries, India and Turkey, together with established supplier countries,

Considering that opiate raw materials and opiates derived therefrom are not just ordinary commodities that can be subjected to the operation of market forces, and that, therefore, market economy considerations alone should not determine the cultivation of opium poppy,

Emphasizing the importance of adhering to the estimates, based on actual consumption and utilization of narcotic drugs, furnished to and confirmed by the International Narcotics Control Board on the extent of cultivation and production of opiate raw materials, especially in view of the current oversupply,

The Commission was informed of the outcome of a study on the relative merits of different methods of producing opiate raw materials the study had been carried out by the Board pursuant to Economic and Social Council resolution 2002 20 of 24 July 2002.

According to al Badeel al iraqi, their sources in Sadr City sent a message saying that the attacking forces are preparing to hit the city with opiate fentanyl non lethal gas, the same gas the Russians used to attack the rebels in Moscow theater in 2002.

Urges all the Governments of countries where opium poppy has not been cultivated for the licit production of opiate raw materials, in the spirit of collective responsibility, to refrain from engaging in the commercial cultivation of opium poppy, in order to avoid the proliferation of supply sites

The Commission welcomed the continued efforts by the International Narcotics Control Board to promote the maintenance of a global balance between the supply of and demand for opiate raw materials used for medical and scientific purposes, as required under the provisions of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 as amended by the 1972 Protocol.
