EXASS Net is a European network of partnerships between stakeholders at frontline level responding to drug problems providing experience and assistance for inter-sectoral cooperation.
The Finnish EU Presidency in 2006 addressed the cooperation of various actors in the law-enforcement, health and social sectors in tackling drug-related problems during a major conference under the title “Moving Forward Together” which took place in Turku on 6-7 September 2006.
As a result, the Finnish EU Presidency suggested setting up a European network, based with the Pompidou Group, for multi-agency partnerships tackling drug problems at front-line level.
During the 2006 Ministerial Conference of the Pompidou Group on 27 and 28 November 2006 the 2007 – 2010 Work Programme was adopted. This Work Programme includes the mandate for the Pompidou Group to set up the network proposed by the Finnish EU Presidency
