EMCDDA so far (1), routinely…
• Monitors drug supply and markets (NFPs):
Seizures by drug (cases, quantities); Retail price by drug
(mean, mode, min-max); Purity/potency by drug (mean,
mode, min-max); Composition of tablets
• Monitors drug-related crime (NFPs):
EMCDDA conceptual framework (Psycho-pharma crimes;
Economic-compulsive crimes; Systemic crimes; Drug law
offences); Data on drug law offences (DLOs) reported
by the police (by drug; offence type; criminal and noncriminal)

EMCDDA Routine monitoring so far:
=> Mainly on ‘situation’ vs. ‘responses’
=> Surveillance vs. analytical approach
=> No explicit monitoring of Supply reduction
activities in Europe (but seizures & DLOs)

More monitoring, more analysis
Work Plan 2010-2012 (1)
How (SSR)?
“Greater emphasis given to the area of supply and
crime reduction” (p.4)
• New specialised staff (+ intern)
• New coordination mechanism ― CUP-DSSR (Cross-Unit Project
on Drug Supply and Supply Reduction): Conceptual framework due
end 2009
• Expanded Europol partnership (joint WP reviewed in 2009):
projects & publications
• Establishment of expert reference group: law enforcement and
other experts (esp. scholars)

What (SR)?
1/ Mapping supply reduction in Europe: what it
covers, who does it (law enforcement)
• What interventions implemented in Europe (e.g. LE strategies
used, training provided, technology, etc.)
• What agencies implement them (who does what at national &
European levels, esp. LE)
2/ Identifying appropriate & feasible secondary
data sources
• LE is likely to remain a major source of data on supply and SR,
but need for different perspectives to complement the picture
(scientif lit., press?, NGOs?)
