Precursors as basic materials or chemicals are much used in various activities in pharmaceutical industries, non-pharmaceutical industries, and the agricultural sector as well as in the interests of scientific and technological development activities.
The procurement of precursors to meet the needs of pharmaceutical industries, non-pharmaceutical industries, and scientific and technological development activities is currently regulated only at the level of Ministerial Regulation.
Although Precursors are basically needed in various sectors if their uses do not accord with their appropriation as well as with the laws and regulations or are abuse in the illegal production of Narcotics and Psychotropic they will do harm and endanger health.
The rising abuse of Narcotics and Psychotropic is currently closely related with the use of devices having the potential to be abuse of Narcotics and Psychotropic and the use of Precursors as one of basic substances or materials or chemicals for the illegal products of Narcotics and Psychotropic.
The potential devices that can be abused commit criminal offences related to Narcotics and Psychotropic are potential devices supervised and declared as goods under the government surveillance, such as: hypodermic needles, syringes, spinning pipes and acetic anhydride.
The rising abuse of precursors in the production of Narcotics and psychotropic has posed a very serious threat that may lead to health disorder, economic instability, security disturbance, and international crimes and therefore, they must be tightly supervised so that they will be used according to their appropriation.
Control and supervision as efforts to prevent and eradicate the abuse and illicit distribution of Precursors badly need nationally, regionally and internationally integrated and coordinated concrete steps because in general, the abuse of precursors is committed by people not individually but collectively, and even by well organized and secret syndicates.
In addition, the abuse of precursors is also a trans national crime using modus operandi and sophisticated technology including safeguarding proceeds from Precursor related crimes. The Precursor related crimes have posed a very serious threat to the life of mankind.
In an effort to control, supervise and prevent the abuse of precursors because the effort is related to the tasks and functions of various relevant sectors, a Government Regulation arranging the control of Precursors comprehensively is needed.
This Government Regulation regulates the classifications and types of Precursors, the mechanism of making annual plans for national needs, the procurement, import and export, circulation, recording and reporting of precursors, supervision as well as the imposition of sanctions.
