This report presents an analysis based almost exclusively on a dataset containing reports of more than 3 000 individual seizures made at EU seaports (3) and at other ports of drugs destined for the EU. The dataset covers the period from January 2019 to June 2024, although the data covering January to June 2024 are incomplete (possibly due to time-lags in reporting). These data were obtained through an ad-hoc extraction of the WCO Customs Enforcement Network (CEN) database in August 2024 by RILO-WE. Given the absence of systematic data collection at ports at EU level, the CEN database was identified as the best alternative available for the purpose of providing a robust foundation for the analysis. However, due to significant limitations in the available data, this report can only provide an overview of the minimum estimated seizures of drugs in or destined for EU ports (4). In addition, a separate dataset on precursors and essential chemicals used in the production of illicit drugs was also provided by RILO-WE. However, that dataset was limited in size, making it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions or identify trends.
