European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA)

The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) was set up in the face of an escalating drug problem in the European Union and a lack of sound and comparable information on the subject at European level. Established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 302/93 on 8 February 1993, the Centre became fully operational in 1995. Its main goal is to provide ‘objective, reliable and comparable information at European level concerning drugs and drug addiction and their consequences’.

The Centre’s tasks are divided into four categories:

• collecting and analysing existing data; • improving data-comparison methods; • disseminating data; and • cooperating with European and international bodies and organisations, and with non-EU countries.

The EMCDDA works exclusively in the field of information.
