Notes:

1. The trends represent the available information on the national number of reports for drug law offences (criminal and non-criminal) reported by all law enforcement agencies in the EU Member States, Croatia and Norway; all series are indexed to a base of 100 in 2005 and weighted by country population sizes to form an overall EU trend; the figures between brackets refer to the total number of offences as reported in 2010 (before weighting).

2. The general term 'reports for drug law offences' is used, since definitions and study units differ widely between countries. For definitions of the term 'reports for drug law offences', please refer to Drug law offences - methods and definitions.

3. Countries that in 2007 carried out changes in the information system likely to affect comparability across time (Estonia, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg and Slovakia), as well as countries with missing data for two or more consecutive years are not included in the trend calculations. The trend line for All reports is based on 22 countries (93 % of the EU population 15-64), the trend line for Supply related reports on 19 countries (87 % of the EU population 15-64) and the trend line for Use related reports on 18 countries (84 % of the EU population 15-64).

4. Additionally, where 2010 data are missing (2 countries) 2009 data are used, for missing 2005 data (1 countries) 2006 data are used.
