Cocaine in Europe - Statistics & Facts
Europe has developed a profound cocaine problem in the past ten years, with increasing demand across the continent, which has boosted organized crime and human rights abuses characterizing the international drug trafficking trade. A study, drafted by the European Commission concerning the impact of drugs on local communities, found that 32 percent of Europeans could easily access cocaine within 24 hours. Ireland was the country where it was the easiest to get access to cocaine, and also the European country with the third-highest cocaine consumption prevalence. The Netherlands and Spain ranked first and second.
