CHAPTER 9

Targeting operational responses to drug

markets and associated criminality

In Part III we look at the policy, structural, strategic

and operational responses to all these dierent

aspects of drug markets, mainly at the European

level, but also at the national level. Rather than

attempt to present acomprehensive library

of responses, this part provides aselection of

examples that illustrate the variety of measures

employed to directly target the illicit drug supply

chain as well as those that tackle drug market

ramications and drivers. An important feature of

the EU drugs strategy is the link between supply

and demand interventions. e latter are reviewed in

other EMCDDA reports such as the European Drug

Report and ‘Health and social responses to drug

problems: aEuropean guide’.
