protocol :
meeting with Wolfgang Gratzel
on 10.05.2007 from 12:30 to 13:10
to the interview with Gschwendtner:
He finds this a very good idea and he would address in particular the following points:
what extent the Politicians or men make Gschwendtner thoughts on health projects (drug projects)?
Gschwendtner As the situation in Innsbruck / Tyrol sees? à What about a guide or model? à this great example of Vancouver
is Gschwendtner As to the projects on drugs?
The projects he has given us the following suggestions:
Canada - Vancouver model for drug policy (the information is Sabine)
Canada - heroin distribution programs (and in other countries)
Germany - controlled use low-threshold work (by Alcoholics Anonymous ) à to the following website www.gk-quest.de (keyword: Kiss - heidelberg)
Switzerland - consumption rooms
Switzerland - Fixerstüblis
drug clinic and substitution in Austria
needle exchange (in Austria still not as widespread)
Other keywords: NOX and Ganzlwirt (or something similar)
to question what it means to be new law to him, he replied that it is meant the substitution of regulation, which was passed in March. Austria set was always very liberal, and the substitution of substances could prescribe any doctor. Then, they have introduced this bill, that doctors must be registered and receive the training to prescribe such agents to be allowed to. The major objective of the Act is to eliminate the black market of substitute products.
Among the speakers:
He says that we may receive funding if a speaker should want. However, this must be discussed with him and only then can be decided.
He also has some ideas for possible speakers and indeed knows he a former addict from Germany - Ammende Günther. (Book: "The drug, the state, death) Ammende would take at a panel discussion, the provocative position.
An interesting opinion would also, by the Minister of Health.
What would be great, but probably not feasible: The mayor of Vancouver, Mr. Sullivan, would be a very great host, very open and progressive.
to drug coordinator - Core Harald: Drug coordinator would occupy an important position in principle, but this is not the case in Tyrol, because Mr. Kern not responsible. So for us not really relevant.
A agreement, we met with Mr. Gratzel, is that we communicate to him via e-mail our progress and not through our blogs (he does not like blogs J ).
He made us 3 books available: 2 books relate to the overall situation and dealing with drugs in Europe and the other book is on Austria.
