2010 ilerleme raporu - Avrupa Birliği Bakanlığı

Successful operations resulting in seizures of 51,451 kg of cannabis and 16,391 kg of heroin
were carried out by Turkish law enforcement bodies. In all, 11 controlled delivery operations
have been made. 453,5 kg heroin, 623 gr cocaine and 2 kg opium were seized as a result of
those operations. Turkey remains one of the main trafficking routes for drugs to the EU. As
regards treatment of drug addicts, a new treatment centre has been opened in Gaziantep in
February 2010. Bupronorfin and Naloksan have started to be used as substitute treatment in
line with the implementing regulation for treatment centres. A new regulation on the
protection of human health from the damages caused by solvents/inhalants has been issued on
August 2010 by the Ministry of Health. The regulation covers production, import, trade,
supervision, storage and usage areas of these substances.
The agreement concerning Turkey’s participation in the European Monitoring Centre for
Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) has still not been ratified. Turkey continues to attend
Reitox meetings of heads of focal points as an observer. As regards the status of the national
Reitox focal point (TUBIM), a draft legislation on the establishment of a national drugs
observatory has been prepared and needs to be adopted. TUBIM human resources capacity
increased from 9 to 17 but it has no autonomous budget in particular for full data collection.
The capacity of TUBIM should be further strengthened and stabilised. A more balanced
approach towards drugs supply and demand reduction needs to be followed also through
strengthening treatment and rehabilitation facilities.
Overall, further efforts are needed as regards alignment with the acquis in this area.
Some progress can be reported in the area of customs cooperation, with regard to
enforcement capacity. The Undersecretariat for customs strengthened its vehicle tracking
system and mobile inspection units. One scanner was installed in Hamzabeyli border crossing
points that further enhance their enforcement capacity. Coordination between the customs
enforcement and other law enforcement agencies at the border needs to be strengthened. Riskbased
controls need to be improved. Turkey continued to be one of the main suppliers of
counterfeit goods seized at EU customs and lacks enforcement capacity for IPR controls on
both imports and exports.
Overall, further efforts are needed as regards alignment with the acquis in this area.
For counterfeiting of the euro see Chapter 32.
Conclusion
Progress, albeit uneven, has been achieved in the area of justice, freedom and security.
Substantial progress was made towards finalising negotiations on an EU-Turkey readmission
agreement. Institutional arrangements on migration and asylum need to set clear
responsibilities for all institutions concerned and endow them with the necessary resources
and skills to handle the assigned tasks efficiently. Some progress can be reported in the area
of drugs and customs cooperation. Limited progress can be reported in the area of external
borders and Schengen, organised crime and terrorism. Little progress has taken place in the
area of visa policy. There has been no progress on judicial cooperation in criminal and civil
matters. Overall, legislation currently being drafted needs to be adopted, and signed
international agreements need to be ratified, as a matter of urgency.
