Press Release from the OAS General Secretariat

  June 1, 2013

The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS), through the Executive Secretariat of the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD), has corrected the error contained in the first edition of the Report on the Drug Problem in the Americas (page 32), which mistakenly noted indices from Ecuador on poppy eradication.

Following the corresponding correction requested by the government of Ecuador, and carried out by the technicians of CICAD, the General Secretariat reports that the document that appears on the OAS website http://www.oas.org/documents/eng/press/Introduction_and_Analytical_Report.pdf represents the final document with the requested changes incorporated
