Notes: Data were not available for the unlisted EU Member States and Romania. For definitions of 'reports' for drug law offences, refer to Drug law offences – methods and definitions. For information on the way percentages were calculated, refer to the notes below. Percentages are based on offences of all types and may not sum to 100 % (in line). (1) Based on drug offences considered as main offences. (2) Based on all drug offences: several different drug offences may be involved in one case. (3) Calculated on arrests for presumed offences against the 1973 drug law. (4) The law only distinguishes between small and large quantities. Thus cases of possession and small-scale trafficking have been considered as 'use/possession for use' and cases of possession and trafficking of large quantities as 'dealing/trafficking'. (5) Since the decriminalisation of drug use/possession for use in July 2001, such offences are reported through a different monitoring system; data presented here come from the latter as well as from the monitoring system recording criminal drug law offences. (6) Dealing/trafficking offences include both aggravated narcotics offences and other narcotics offences. (7) It is not possible to distinguish 'dealing and trafficking' alone from 'use/dealing and trafficking'. This category includes therefore dealers-users and represents 58.5 % of drug law offences, while the remaining drug law offences (41.5 %) relate to drug use alone.
