Data and statistics

Data on drugs in Europe

The data presented here cover a broad range of areas including the most recent estimates of treatment and prevalence, drug-related infectious diseases, high risk drug use estimate, levels of drug related deaths, drug related crime in the form of drug seizures, types of offence, price, purity and use in prison, and country responses to the drug situation in Europe.

Date of last update: 27 May 2014.

The data is largely based on data submitted to the EMCDDA by the Reitox network of focal points and is the result of close cooperation between focal points and experts at the country level, and the EMCDDA at the European level.
