Network, Report and Partnerships
The Centre obtains information primarily from the 'Reitox network': a group of focal points in each of the 27 EU Member States, Norway, the candidate countries to the EU and at the European Commission. This human and computer network links the national information systems of the 27 Member States, Norway, and their key partners to the EMCDDA. It acts as a practical instrument for the collection and exchange of data and information.
The annual report on the state of the drugs problem in the European Union and Norway and an online statistical bulletin offer a yearly overview of the latest European drug situation and trends. Meanwhile online country situation summaries provide a pool of national drug-related data.
It works in partnership with non-EU countries as well as with international bodies such as the United Nations International Drug Control Programme, the World Health Organisation, the Council of Europe's Pompidou Group, the World Customs Organization, the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) and the European Police Office.
