Daily News - eluniversal.com:
"President Hugo Chávez threats to expel from Venezuela US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents by accusing them of spying have not been carried out. As a result, they still work in the country, DEA Administrator Karen Tandy declared Monday.

'We never left,' the director of the agency operating in 85 countries around the world for anti-drug efforts, stressed.

Instead, Tandy clarified, the parties are preparing a memorandum of understanding for joint anti-drug efforts.

Her remarks were made during the submittal of the 2006 United Nations (UN) World Report on anti-drug efforts in Washington, when replying to a reporter about DEA strategy to operate again in Venezuela, AP quoted.

Based on the report submitted by Antonio María Costa, the UN director for drugs and crime affairs, Venezuela is a transit for drug traffic. In 2004, 31.2 tons of cocaine, twice the amount of 2000, was seized."
