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 (‘the United Nations Convention’), 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 shubstaint sceidealaithe a shoiléiriú: ina leith sin, scriostar an téarma “ullmhóid chógaisíochta”, a thagann as Coinbhinsiún na Náisiún Aontaithe i gcoinne Gáinneáil Aindleathach Drugaí Támhshuanacha agus Substaintí Síceatrópacha a glacadh i Vín an 19 Nollaig 1988 (“Coinbhinsiún na Náisiún Aontaithe”), toisc go bhfuil sé cumhdaithe cheana féin ag téarmaíocht iomchuí ghníomhartha dlí an Aontais, eadhon “táirgí íocshláinte”.
