Definition: This block contains a wide variety of disorders that differ in severity and clinical form but that are all attributable to the use of one or more psychoactive substances, which may or may not have been medically prescribed. The third character of the code identifies the substance involved, and the fourth character specifies the clinical state. The codes should be used, as required, for each substance specified, but it should be noted that not all fourth character codes are applicable to all substances. Identification of the psychoactive substance should be based on as many sources of information as possible. These include self-report data, analysis of blood and other body fluids, characteristic physical and psychological symptom ...[+++]s, clinical signs and behaviour, and other evidence such as a drug being in the patient's possession or reports from informed third parties. Many drug users take more than one type of psychoactive substance. The main diagnosis should be classified, whenever possible, according to the substance or class of substances that has caused or contributed most to the presenting clinical syndrome. Other diagnoses should be coded when other psychoactive substances have been taken in intoxicating amounts (common fourth character .0) or to the extent of causing harm (common fourth character .1), dependence (common fourth character .2) or other disorders (common fourth character .3-.9). Only in cases in which patterns of psychoactive substance-taking are chaotic and indiscriminate, or in which the contributions of different psychoactive substances are inextricably mixed, should the diagnosis of disorders resulting from multiple drug use (F19.-) be used. | Modifiers The following fourth-character subdivisions are for use with categories F10-F19: Code Title .0 Acute intoxication A condition that follows the administration of a psychoactive substance resulting in disturbances in level of consciousness, cognition, perception, affect or behaviour, o ...

3. REAFFIRMS the importance of continuing to provide support by developed countries beyond 2012 for activities to mitigate and adapt to climate change as set forth in the Durban decisions; in this context RECALLS that the Durban platform noted the significant gap between mitigation pledges and emissions reduction necessary to achieve the 2 °C target and therefore calls on all parties to ensure the highest possible mitigation efforts; REITERATES that in this respect the EU and other developed countries should work in a constructive manner towards the identification of a path for scaling up climate finance from 2013 to 2020 from a wide v ...[+++]ariety of sources, public finance and private sector finance, bilateral and multilateral, including alternative sources of finance, as needed to reach the international long term committed goal of mobilizing jointly US$100 billion per year by 2020 in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation with a view to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions so as to keep the increase in global average temperature below 2 °C compared to preindustrial levels;

30. Calls on the Commission immediately to propose ways in which the EU can best complement its climate-change mitigation measures with efforts to reduce emissions of non-CO2 gases, such as the HFCs which are the fastest growing climate pollutant in the world and HFC23; calls on the Commission to promote the initiative to bring HFC production into the Montreal Protocol and to conclude bilateral agreements with third countries on mitigating the impact of HFC23, with a view to reducing emissions of non-CO2 gases and mitigating the impact of HFC23 in a cost-effective manner, at a cost to the public orders of magnitude lower than current ca ...[+++]rbon prices;
