The objectives of Romania’s second Anti-Drug Strategy (2005–2012) and its Action Plan for implementation (2005–2008) are to develop an integrated system of institutions and public services to ensure the reduction of drug use, adequate medical, psychological and social assistance for drug users and streamlined activities for preventing and countering the trafficking and production of illicit drugs and precursors. The short-term aims of the strategy are to maintain a low level of drug use in the general population, to decrease the number of new drug users and to reduce drug-related organised crime. The strategy is comprehensive and focuses on illicit drugs, covering drug demand reduction, drug supply reduction, international cooperation, information and evaluation, inter-agency coordination and providing the necessary resources.
The Action Plan 2005–2008 comprises a detailed list of activities with a systematic mention of a deadline and responsibilities for implementation. This action plan was evaluated in 2009 and a new action plan 2010–2012 was adopted in 2010.
