The Justice Programme for the period 2014 to 2020, established by Regulation (EU) No 1382/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013, and in particular Art. Drugs are a complex social and health problem that affects millions of people in the EU.
The human and social costs of drugs addiction are very high. They generate costs for public health (on drug prevention and treatment, healthcare and hospital treatment), public safety, the environment and labour productivity. In many countries around the world, drug trafficking also affects national stability and governance.
The Strategy is structured around two policy areas: drug demand reduction and drug supply reduction, and three cross-cutting themes: (a) coordination, (b) international cooperation and (c) information, research, monitoring and evaluation. These are further developed in the 2 action plans.
