          - to stimulate and enhance European cooperation in information issues between libraries, institutions, information services, and individuals in the field of alcohol and drugs,
 
          - to stimulate and promote the development and use of information management techniques,
 
          - to stimulate and encourage the development of policies to facilitate the dissemination
 
          of factual information on use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs in Europe, 
          - to keep librarians and information officers informed professionally,
