European Union: Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on monitoring and controlling drug precursors and repealing Regulations (EC) No 273/2004 and (EC) No 111/2005EUR-Lex - 52025PC0747 - EN - EUR-Lex
Updated on : 23-02-2026
| The new rules will implement Article 12 of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, adopted in Vienna on 19 December 1988. They will replace two existing Regulations (Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 on drug precursors for internal market and Regulation (EC) No 111/2005 on trade between EU Member States and third countries). The new rules will simplify and streamline the existing rules and will introduce a new category of precursors – designer precursors, with specific obligations attached for operators. Designer precursors are substances with no known legitimate uses except research and innovation, close chemical relatives of precursors with legitimate uses already placed under control. The trade and use of such precursors will be subject to a prior-notification or a licence, depending on the quantities needed or purpose of the transaction or use (research and innovation or other legitimate purpose). The new rules will also set the legal basis for a centralised electronic system which will support the digitisation of all formalities required therein. |
