    Communication activities

    For many years an informal coalition of NGOs and individuals has been organizing and taking part in all initiatives in the drug policy field in Poland, at the national and local level. At the beginning of this year, this informal group was transformed into the Foundation for Social Policy PREKURSOR, bringing on board all organisations and individuals involved in years-long work. Board members and policy council members of PREKURSOR are in the governing bodies of their organisations.

    Members of the coalition and organizations it represents have been closely collaborating with many government institutions and bodies in the field of drug policy. They played active role in the process which led to amendment in 2011. They initiated and took part in all actions aiming to reform treatment system in Poland – especially regarding access to harm reduction services, opioid substitution treatment and medical cannabis. We were involved in many actions regarding these issues – civil hearings in the parliament, social campaigns, conferences at the national and local level.

    Meetings

    1 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
