Politicians Have To Be Committed

We Think Of Cannabis As A Drug, In Accordance With International Opinions. This Means That Even Consuming Small Amounts Can Lead To Very Severe Dependence. With Alcohol Or Cigarettes However, Sensibly Limited Consumption Does Not Bear The Risk Of Immediate Addictiveness As This Is The Case With Cannabis According To Our Opinion. With Alcohol There Surely Is An Element Of A Tradition. However, Enjoyed In Moderation, As Supplement To A Meal For Example, Alcohol Is Not Something That Causes Immediate Dependence. Still, There Is A Great Need For Prevention And Information In This Matter.

Implementing Parts Of European Constitution And Leaving Out Others - Without Knowing Where We're Going - Isn't An Option. That Would Be Detrimental To The Overall Balance, Which Is Why We Must Embark On Another Comprehensive Discussion Of The Issue Once Again. I Would Like To See Europe Retain The Idea Of A Constitution In The End, And I Plan To Campaign On Its Behalf.

Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way.

From This Experience We Have Learned That In A Big Party It Is Important To Have The Necessary And Often Controversial Discussions On Policy Issues Such As The Health System While In Opposition.

Above All It Is Important To Point Out That We Can Only Maintain Our Prosperity In Europe If We Belong To The Most Innovative Regions In The World.
