| In
1998 the AMOC/DHV Foundation launched the European Network for mobile
drug users AC COMPANY, supported by the European Commission and the
Dutch Ministry of Health. The network consisted of agencies in 25
European countries, all engaged in the field of drug use services. AC COMPANY did research in the background and the effects of mobility and drug use as they occur in border areas, between countries, in cases of migration and with regard to new drugs. The project developed practice-oriented information for transnational co-operation and stimulated exchange of experiences. Due to a new Public Health Programme, which has been introduced in 2003 the network did not receive any further funding. The former project coordination of AC Company and the European Network on Male Prostitution (ENMP) came together in order to combine forces and to develop a common working plan for the future. As a result, AMOC launched in may 2005 the European network Correlation www.correlation-net.org, with financial support of the European Commission. Most of the network contacts of the former AC COMPANY joined Correlation and parts of the former working plan could be adopted, although the approach within Correlation is broader – having a multi-professional background. Besides, Correlation is still providing specific information and contacts on mobile drug use. Through the Correlation website, you can also access former AC COMPANY publications.
