Notes:

ca = circa.

(1) In 1995: the number of seizures based on offences; since 1996: the numbers of seizures based on police register.

(2) In 2002 and 2003, seizures of cannabis products cannot be broken down by product; 57115 kg of cannabis were seized in 2002 and 82515 kg in 2003.

(3) 2000 to 2003 data include both seizures of herbal cannabis and cannabis plants.

(4) In 2000 and 2001, data include both marihuana and Dutch-grown weed; in 2002, data include marihuana only. Both 2004 and 2005 data are based on seizures made only by some police forces: they are not comparable between them, nor with previous years.

(5) In 2003, seizures of cannabis resin and herbal cannabis cannot be broken down by product; 220.16 kg of herb and resin were seized in 2003.

(6) Data before 2000 include total of herbal and plants.

(7) Data include cannabis plants.

(8) Data refer to seizures made by the Customs and the National Service for Combating Organized Crime (NACOC), separately or in combination with other units within the Ministry of Interior.

(9) Up until 2003 the amount of large seizures only is reported; from 2004 all seizures are reported.

(10) 2005 data include seizures of seeds and other cannabis products except resin and plants.
