The EU is an important market for illicit drugs (hereinafter referred to as drugs), both in terms of consumption and production. An estimated 29 % of European adults aged 15-65 have used drugs at least once in their lifetime, the majority of them being men. Cannabis remains by far the most used drug, followed by cocaine, MDMA (ecstasy or molly) and amphetamines. Drugs have been claiming an increasing number of lives in the EU since 2012, but their impact goes far beyond the harm caused by their use ...

Draft amending budget No 4/2022 (DAB 4/2022) to the EU's 2022 general budget aims to update the revenue side, taking into account the updated own resources forecast and other revenues, such as the United Kingdom (UK) contribution and fines. DAB 4/2022 also includes two expenditure-related adjustments: budgetary nomenclature allowing resources to be transferred to the REPowerEU chapter of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF); and additional staff requested for Eurojust. The European Parliament ...

The EU has made substantial progress in terms of protecting its citizens since the early 1990s. This has often been in response to dramatic incidents, such as murders committed by the mafia or other organised crime groups or big money-laundering scandals, or to negative trends, such as the steep increase in migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings following the 2015 migration crisis. More recently, it was necessary to respond to the sharp rise in cybercrime, fraud and counterfeiting during ...

Since the start of Russia's war on Ukraine there has been mounting evidence of what may constitute violations of international criminal law in the conduct of the war. Active investigations into alleged core international crimes (which are classified as war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide) have begun, with the involvement of the Ukrainian authorities, the International Criminal Court, and other international organisations. The EU is playing an active role in this process, with Eurojust ...

In an unprecedented and unanimous reaction to Russia's war on Ukraine that began on 24 February 2022, the EU swiftly decided to make available €500 million from the European Peace Facility – followed soon after by additional financing – to fund EU military assistance and to deliver military equipment to Ukraine. For the first time in its history, the EU is now using a dedicated, although off-budget, tool to finance – but not to deliver, with that responsibility falling on Member States alone – lethal ...

In December 2019, Eurojust became the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation. The agency aims at fighting serious cross-border crimes by strengthening coordination and cooperation among the competent judicial authorities of the Member States. The agency's most recent activity report shows that criminal activities are increasing despite the restrictions brought about as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. In fact, since the outbreak of the pandemic, the Agency has worked on 3 240 ...

The common values of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights (DRF) lie at the heart of the European integration process and are central to the values of the European Union (EU). In practice, however, individual and collective (lack of) Member State action can undermine these common values. This situation applied before the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis, but some of the national measures taken since the outbreak of the pandemic have tested the resilience of these values further. More ...
