Résumé :
What are the capabilities and interests of cooperation networks, as far as the panEuropean facilitation of European Union action on city-level action on drugs and petty crime may be concerned? This study is one of three related sub-studies, requested by the Council from the European Commission, and contracted to the EMCDDA. The focus here is on the capabilities of the two drugs & cities networks (ECDP, Frankfurt and ECAD, Stockholm) and one cities network on urban security (EFUS, Paris). Relevant aspects of these three networks are set out against the background of the capabilities and views of four European Institutions or bodies with relevant networking capacities or potential: the Pompidou Group of the Council of Europe, which drew attention to its Congress of Local• and Regional Authorities of Europe, CLRAE; the Committee of the Regions, which drew attention to the Council of European Municipalities and Regions, CEMR, which has membership overlapping with CoR; Europol, most of whose members have experience at city level; and EMCDDA.
The report describes the competencies, modus operandi and future interests of the smaller networks, in the context of the interests of the European Institutions and bodies.The three small networks are found to have specific strengths and weaknesses, as far as practical cooperation in the future may be concemed (see text). The report places these detailed findings from this sub-study in the context of the coherence achieved between it and the other two sub-studies. It is suggested that what is needed is a process or mechanism through which existing networks can cooperate, on the basis of a division of labour that builds upon the specific strengths of each Institutions/bodies networks (as described in the report). The process for achieving that division of labour must take into account: the need for cooperation across the Union as a whole; political legitimacy in the light of subsidiarity; a sensitivity to locally-driven priorities within the framework of the drug policies and other policies of the Union; and an emphasis on exchange of information and research.(author's abstract)
