EU drug markets report: A strategic analysis

This EU drug markets report, produced jointly by the European Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) and the European Police Office (Europol), is the first comprehensive overview of illicit drug markets in the European Union.

The report covers issues such as production, consumer markets, trafficking, organised crime and policy responses, along with a review of the markets for heroin, cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine, methamphetamine, ecstasy and new psychoactive substances. It concludes with concrete action points for the areas where the current EU response to the drug market and its consequent harms may be improved.
