The European Action on Drugs (EAD)
is a European Commission's initiative designed
to provide European civil society with a platform to increase awareness and
commitment as regards drugs and the risks related to drug abuse, and to promote
dialogue and exchanges of best practice. The European Commission is
proposing that anyone who carries formal responsibility of some kind should make a commitment on a specific action that he/she will
undertake.
Concretely, any individuals, NGOs, public authorities,
schools, enterprises, etc. can submit to the European Commission a proposal of
action (a commitment) by using an application form. If the submitted action is
not reaching the objective of the Commission, a negotiation is developed to
adapt the action to the Commission's need. When the commitment is accepted by
the Commission, the applicant becomes a EAD signatory and can use the EAD logo
for its own promotion. Currently, as the EAD is just starting, for the point of view of the applicant EAD is mainly a sort of label to get visibility.
I am personally EAD signatory as individual. More info...
