Notes:                      
na: data not available  
(1) Belgium: data include both seizures of ecstasy and amphetamines in 1998.  
(2) Czech Republic: in 2002 the total number of ecstasy seizures includes 36 seizures of ecstasy tablets and 1 seizure of ecstasy powder. Accurate data are not available before 2002 due to double counting of seizures by police and customs reports.  
(3) Spain: number of ecstasy seizures is over-estimated in 1994, since number of seizures of LSD and other hallucinogenics are included too.  
(4) Netherlands: 269 seizures of MDMA and 41 of MDEA in 1997. In 2000 the Netherlands data include seizures of both ecstasy and amphetamines.
