This Regulation clarifies the definition of a scheduled substance: in this regard, the term ‘pharmaceutical preparation’, which stems from the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances adopted in Vienna on 19 December 1988, is deleted as it is already covered by the relevant terminology of Union legal acts, namely ‘medicinal products’.
Déanann an Rialachán seo an sainmhíniú ar shubstaintí sceidealaithe a shoiléiriú: i dtaca leis seo, scriostar an téarma “ullmhóid chógaisíochta” a thagann as Coinbhinsiún na Náisiún Aontaithe i gcoinne na Gáinneála Aindleathaí ar Dhrugaí Támhshuanacha agus ar Shubstaintí Síceatrópacha a glacadh i Vín an 19 Nollaig 1988, toisc go bhfuil sé clúdaithe ag téarmaíocht ábhartha ghníomhartha dlíthiúla an Aontais, eadhaon “táirgí íocshláinte”.
