EMCDDA Annual report on the state of the drugs problem in Europe
22 November, European Parliament (Brussels). EMCDDA, the EU drugs agency, launched last 22 November its annual report on the State of the drugs problem in Europe.
The report addresses key issues on drugs in Europe and says that after over a decade of rising drug use, Europe may now be entering a more stable phase. According to the report not only are there signs that heroin use and drug injecting have become generally less common, but new data suggest that levels of cannabis use may now be stabilising after a sustained period of growth.
Nevertheless, positive messages are marred by high levels of drug-related deaths and rising cocaine use.
