What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

Stresses that actions by grassroots associations contribute to youth protection, social cohesion and democratic vitality and that they are often poorly recognised, supported or protected
Stresses that the fight against drug trafficking and organised crime is a major challenge for the European Union as a whole, in terms of both security and public health, social justice and respect for the rule of law
