This year we will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Pompidou Group. Created in August 1971 - on the initiative of the then French President - as a European cooperation framework to fight against drug abuse and drug traficking, it has developed over the years into an international group which promotes a humanistic approach of drug policies, in line with the values of the Council of Europe. It grew from 7 founding states to 41 members today, including 3 non-European countries.
