Abstrakt		This is the third time the REITOX National Focal Point at the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia has presented its annual Report on the Drug Situation, drawn up for the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). The report for 2000 was compiled in March 2002 and that for 2001 in November 2002. Slovenia was already developing its information system for drugs at the start of the nineties, with the support of various Phare projects and international organisations dealing with the area of illegal drugs. During the process of meeting requirements stemming from Chapter 24 of the Association Agreement between Slovenia and the EU, there arose a definite need for co-operation with the EMCDDA. An Information Unit for Illegal Drugs, the main part of which was formed by the National Focal Point (NFP), was founded to co-operate with the REITOX network. The current legal basis for this can be found in the Act Regulating the Prevention of the Use of Illicit Drugs and the Treatment of Drug Users (Official Gazette 98/99, Article 15). In March 2001, the Minister of Health of the Republic of Slovenia issued an order to establish the Information Unit for Illegal Drugs (IUID). This unit only started operating in 2002. Slovenia is thus, via the NFP, included in the REITOX NFP network, together with the EU Member States, Norway, the European Commission, the acceding states and the candidate countries. The IUID and NFP became fully operative with the fulfilment of the EMCDDA requirements. In March 2002, it submitted statistical tables and the National Report in line with the EMCDDA guidelines, based on data from 2000. A few months later, in spite of there being a change in the head of the IUID and the national co-ordinator for REITOX NFP, another set of statistical tables and the National Report based on data from 2001 was sent.
