Book excerpt: MDMA, amphetamine and methamphetamine are produced in the European Union in illicit laboratories to satisfy the demands of European consumers, and in the case of MDMA in particular, increasingly to supply consumers in other regions of the world. To produce these illicit drugs, chemical starting materials called drug precursors are needed. These chemicals may also have legitimate uses, necessitating a regime of regulation at the global level to prevent their diversion for illicit use and thereby limiting the supply of illicit drugs. A set of EU regulations provide an implementing framework for precursor trade within the European Union and between the European Union and the rest of the world. In order to avoid regulatory regimes, producers of illicit synthetic drugs have introduced alternative chemicals that are not listed in the precursor regulations. These chemicals, which are normally imported, are converted into drug precursors that are then used for synthetic drug production. Because alternative chemicals are not controlled, they are cheaper than drug precursors and can be traded with little risk of interdiction or heavy penalties. The emergence of these new substances is a serious challenge to the international precursor control system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drugs are a perennial topic within the institutions of the European Union--the Commission, Council and Parlia-ment. The "drug problem" is also regularly tabled on the agenda of the European Council, the biannual summit of the government leaders of the fifteen member states. The E.U. systematically brings drug-related issues into virtually all of its political dialogues with Third World countries and regional organizations. It even stresses the importance of anti-drug measures as part of trade agreements and development cooperation. By such means, the European Union has become an important player in the world of international drug control. This book gives an overview of the European Union's anti-drug measures and focuses on its decision-making process. It looks at why drugs have acquired a prominent position on the European political agenda and identifies the political function they serve in terms of domestic drug policy and international relations. This study shows that instead of solving the drug problem, the European Union's bureaucracy actually helps to keep it alive and well. Tim Boekhout van Solinge is a researcher at the Centre for Drug Research of the University of Amsterdam.

Book excerpt: Currently, the data sources available suggest that overall methamphetamine availability and use in Europe remains relatively low, in comparison with other stimulant drugs. However, when viewed collectively, the data suggest that threats in this area appear to be growing to a point at which they cannot be ignored. Wastewater analysis and other epidemiological data sources suggest some recent methamphetamine diffusion to new markets, with the drug now appearing in some southern European countries and becoming more prominent in parts of central Europe. There is also evidence of large-scale production in Europe for non-European countries, and significant production in some countries bordering the European Union. The increasing presence of Mexican groups involved in large-scale production of smokable crystal methamphetamine in Europe is of particular concern. This could result in increased availability of this drug in the European Union in future. Overall, current developments in the availability of precursor chemicals and in European synthetic drug-production capacity indicate that if demand for this drug increased in Europe, illicit producers would be able to respond quickly. While still relatively low, seizures of methamphetamine, both in terms of numbers and quantities, are increasing: with very large increases in the quantity of methamphetamine seized in Turkey together with reports of methamphetamine production in that country. Many of the indicators on drug use and some indicators of the drug market are ill-adapted to distinguish between amphetamine and methamphetamine. As a result, especially in view of the overall greater part played by amphetamine, they are likely to be insensitive to changes in methamphetamine use in Europe. Currently, the availability of other stimulants on the European drug market appears to be high. However, if this were to change, a threat exists that methamphetamine availability and use could grow rapidly. Given the prominent role played by this drug in the global market for stimulants and its association with both severe acute and chronic health problems, it must be considered one of the priority areas for drug monitoring. In the current environment, where new drug trends can emerge rapidly, contingency planning to improve Europe's preparedness for any future escalation in problems in this area would also be beneficial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Elvins' book is the first to trace the evolution of anti-drugs policies at European Union level from the late 1960s to the present. Phases of drug policy development, key policy actors and institutions are described with particular reference to the influence of transnational networks of expertise. Policy development is placed in the context of both European integration and a broad harmonization of international policies against drug trafficking. Concerns are also raised about secretive and anti-democratic features on intergovernmental EU decision-making.

Book excerpt: Updating and expanding the coverage of the first Edition, this book provides a chemical background to domestic and international controls on substances of misuse. In the United Kingdom, structure-specific (generic) controls have been further developed in the past 13 years and now cover 17 groups of compounds. The focus of those controls has been on new psychoactive substances (NPS). Since 1997, over 800 NPS have been reported to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drugs Addiction. International generic and analogue controls are described together with a critical review of their effectiveness. Other, established, drugs are described as well as a large group of psychoactive substances that are not scheduled by the International Conventions This book has general appeal to those needing information on illicit drugs including forensic scientists, lawyers, law enforcement agencies, drug regulatory authorities as well as graduate and postgraduate students of chemistry and the criminal law. The chapters are supported by chemical structures, numerous tables and charts, appendices, a glossary and a bibliography. This unique book is a valuable addition to the literature in this area and will be of great assistance to those studying this topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the drug dealer in contemporary society from an interdisciplinary perspective and considers the increasingly blurred demarcation between illegitimate and legitimate drug markets. It explores the motives and drivers of those involved in drug supply and dispels common and stereotypical myths and misconceptions surrounding illegal drug markets and those who operate within them. The drug dealer has become one of our foremost contemporary ‘folk devils’. Those who trade in substances prohibited by law are the subject of array of inaccurate myths and urban legends. Criminology has tended either to shoehorn drug dealers into neat typologies or portray them as ‘victims’ of an uncaring, predatory post-modern society. In reality, we know relatively little about the complex and diverse world of drug markets and our concentration inevitably falls on low-end ‘retail’ dealers who operate in the most visible sectors of the illegal economy. Bringing together an international group of experts, this book considers perspectives from around the world, including UK, USA, South America, Spain, India and Australia. This book will be of interest to students and researchers across criminology, law, sociology, criminal justice and public health, and will be essential reading for those taking courses on drugs, drug markets and substance misuse.

Later that year, it published New trends in synthetic drugs in the European Union, based on two Europe-wide reviews of the epidemiology of synthetic drug use and related demand-reduction activities in the EU. The publication responded to a clear need to audit what was known of the new synthetic drug phenomenon at that time across Europe and to develop a comprehensive knowledge base for informing policy, legislation and prevention initiatives in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug problems present sharp challenges for policing and democracy in the European Union. Harmonisation of anti-trafficking measures contrasts with diversity of local policies on drug users. 'Open drug scenes' trigger innovative but often volatile responses. This collection presents vivid experiences of drug policy-making at city, regional and higher levels. For the future, beyond 1996, EU 'confederal' and 'intergovernmental' scenarios have distinct implications for drugs. Finally, international dimensions are explored - drug control through money laundering countermeasures, trade and development policies, security and EU enlargement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Europe - from town halls and regional governments, through national Parliaments and ministries, to the high institutions of the European Union - there runs a vigorous debate on organised crime, municipal safety and private conduct. Drug problems and what to do about them often occupy center-stage at these debates. Throughout the 1990s the focus of legal attention has been primarily on the criminal law. New criminal offenses have been created, partly in response to influences `from above' (from international and European agreements) and partly in response to pressure `from below' (concerns of citizens at national and sub-national levels). But although criminal law certainly is important as far as the development of drug controls is concerned, it is by no means the whole story. There is a parallel history, a regulatory one, consisting of the increasing use of administrative measures, some of which are directly concerned with drugs while others are more general but equally applicable. These responses, together with civil law, variously function as adjuncts to criminal law or as alternatives to it, in relation to drug trafficking at European and national levels, drug-related public nuisance as it concerns citizens at municipal level, and drug users. After charting existing measures in the legal orders of Member states and of the Community, Regulating European Drug Problems looks at prospects for administrative drug controls after Amsterdam - in the context of the development of the Single Market, cooperation against crime and insecurity, subsidiarity, and human rights. At a practical level, the study offers provocative ideas to policy-makers and administrators working at the intersection of city-level, national, and European responses to drugs. For scholars and students, the book offers comparative legal research and European synthesis, and forges new links between fields of law, suppresion of organised crime, and economic and social regulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume arose from a European Scientific Seminar on `Strategies and Policies to Combat Drugs', which was organized by the Commission of the European Communities at the European University Institute in Florence in December 1993. The significance of the seminar lay in the manner in which it sought to address the full range of issues associated with the drug problem at international, national and local level. Equally important was its success in attracting participants from a number of different disciplines -- scientific experts, national and EU administrators working in the drugs field, and members of the European Parliament. That provided for a lively and wide-ranging exchange of views and ideas which is reflected in the contributions and conclusions contained in this publication, which comprises varied contributions and approaches to drug policies at international, European, national and local level. It also focuses on the possibilities of a comprehensive Drug Strategy within the framework of the European Union.

Book excerpt: This book examines the mutual recognition of judicial decisions in European criminal law as a cornerstone of judicial co-operation in criminal matters in the European Union. Providing comprehensive content and combining theoretical and practical aspects, it covers all of the major issues surrounding mutual recognition. The book analyses its definition, genesis, principles, case law, implementation and evaluation. Special attention is given to mutual recognition measures, namely European arrest warrant (i.e. surrender procedure), mutual recognition of custodial sentences, and measures involving deprivation of liberty, mutual recognition of probation measures and alternative sanctions, mutual recognition of financial penalties, mutual recognition of confiscation orders, the European supervision order in pre-trial procedures (i.e. mutual recognition of supervision measures as an alternative to provisional detention), the European investigation order (i.e. free movement of evidence), and the European protection order (i.e. mutual recognition of protection orders). Instead of focusing solely on a criminal law approach, the book also considers the subject from the perspectives of European Union law and International criminal law.
