The Minister and her officials are very welcome. I wish her every success in her new and challenging role. The Minister mentioned that the new programme of priorities for the JHA Council was discussed, so perhaps she can expand on what those priorities will be.
My second question concerns the EU monitoring centre for drugs and drug addiction. In Europe, there is a growing use of the Internet for distributing synthetic drugs. In addition, the consumption of drug types has changed, so what can be done to address that?
