The drug-fighting policy approved by the EU Parliament lists a specific number of actions that the EU Commission will be responsible for: studies and surveys, polls and investigations, development of common indicators and methods, data collection and dissemination, conferences and meetings of experts, organisation of campaigns and events for the public at large, development and updating of websites, development and dissemination of information materials. The "at risk" groups, which the EU policy wants to give priority to, are "young people, women, vulnerable groups and people living in socially-disadvantaged areas". The people who might proactively help fight the spreading and abuse of drugs include: parents, teachers and educators, social workers, medical and paramedical staff, legal staff, law-enforcing authorities, non-governmental organisations, religious communities. "The EU funds can come in the form of subsidies or public contracts". "In particular, the policy will fund the costs incurred for information and communication, for the preparation, implementation, monitoring, assessment and inspection of projects".
