Earlier this year the Senlis
Council, a European think-tank that has relocated much of its efforts to
Afghanistan, released a report on the feasibility of licensing Afghan opium
for the legal production of opiates used in medicine, such as morphine.
The study was released on September 26 at an international
symposium held in Kabul.
Phase two of the Senlis research
will examine how the results of the first study can be practically applied,
and the Council is seeking tenders from persons/institutions wishing to
participate in a range of research projects in the disciplines of development
economics, international and comparative law, agronomy, pharmacology, sociology,
and healthcare systems, particular from those with demonstrated experience
inside Afghanistan.
