  Title European status report on alcohol and health 2010 Type Report
  Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages vi, 373

  Abstract The harmful use of alcohol creates a significant disease burden and in many countries causes public health problems leading to a substantial health, social and economic burden. Reducing the harmful use of alcohol is becoming a priority on the national, regional and global levels; it can be done by implementing strategies of proven effectiveness. This report presents the latest data from the WHO European Region on alcohol consumption and harm and the responses made to them in countries. It summarizes the situation in the Region as a whole and gives profiles of its 53 countries, presenting consolidated tables and graphs with data on some of the key indicators from the 2009 survey on alcohol and health. In addition, the report describes the WHO instruments and activities that are available to support countries in building on the gains they have already made in this area. Alkoholmissbrauch ist für eine erhebliche Krankheitslast verantwortlich und stellt in vielen Ländern das Gesundheitswesen vor Probleme, die eine beträchtliche Belastung für Mensch, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft darstellen. Die Bekämpfung des Alkoholmissbrauchs wird zu einer Priorität auf nationaler, regionaler und globaler Ebene und kann durch Umsetzung von nachweislich wirksamen Strategien erfolgen. In diesem Bericht werden die neuesten Daten aus der Europäischen Region der WHO über Alkoholkonsum und dadurch bedingte Schäden sowie die in den Ländern ergriffenen Gegenmaßnahmen präsentiert. Neben einer Zusammenfassung der Situation in der Region insgesamt werden auch Profile der 53 Mitgliedstaaten erstellt; dies geschieht mittels konsolidierter Tabellen und Grafiken mit Daten zu einigen der wichtigsten Indikatoren aus der Studie von 2009 über Alkohol und Gesundheit. Darüber hinaus werden in dem Bericht die Instrumente und Aktionen geschildert, mit denen die WHO die Länder dabei unterstützen kann, an den auf diesem Gebiet bereits erzielten Erfolgen anzuknüpfen. L’usage nocif de l’alcool est à l’origine d’une importante charge de morbidité. Dans beaucoup de pays, il cause des problèmes de santé publique venant grever le fardeau sanitaire, social et économique. Réduire l’usage nocif de l’alcool devient une priorité aux niveaux national, régional et mondial. À cette fin, des stratégies à efficacité avérée peuvent être adoptées. Ce rapport compile les dernières données de la Région européenne de l’OMS en ce qui concerne la consommation d’alcool et ses effets nocifs, ainsi que les mesures de lutte prises dans les pays. Il résume la situation régionale dans son ensemble et présente le profil de ses 53 États membres, à l’aide de tableaux et de graphiques récapitulatifs qui illustrent les données relatives à plusieurs indicateurs essentiels provenant de l’étude menée en 2009 sur l’alcool et la santé. En outre, le rapport décrit les instruments et activités de l’OMS qui sont disponibles pour aider les pays à consolider les gains déjà réalisés dans ce domaine. Во многих странах вредное употребление алкоголя связано со значительным бременем болезней, приводя к негативным медицинским, социальным и экономическим последствиям. Поэтому сокращение вредного употребления алкоголя становится одной из приоритетных задач на национальном, региональном и глобальном уровнях. Эта цель может быть достигнута путем реализации стратегий, эффективность которых уже доказана. В настоящем докладе представлены последние данные по Европейскому региону о потреблении алкоголя и наносимом им вреде, а также об ответных действиях на уровне стран. В нем дается краткое описание ситуации в Регионе в целом, и приведены профили всех 53 государств – членов Региона, в том числе в виде сводных таблиц и графиков с данными по ряду ключевых показателей, взятыми из проведенного в 2009 г. обследования по вопросам алкоголя и здоровья. Кроме того, в докладе дается описание документов и мероприятий ВОЗ, которые могут оказать поддержку странам в развитии тех успехов, которых они уже добились в этой области.

  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 193

  Abstract This publication presents the summary findings and the conclusions of the risk assessment on mephedrone, carried out by the EMCDDA’s extended Scientific Committee, with participation of additional experts from the European Commission, Europol and the EMA. The risk assessment report, which was submitted to the European Commission and the Council of the European Union 26 May 2010, examines the health and social risks of the drug, as well as information on international trafficking and the involvement of organised crime. Furthermore, the report considers the potential implications for placing the drug under control in the EU. On the basis of this report – and on the initiative of the European Commission – on 2 December 2010, the Council decided that mephedrone is to be subject to control measures.

  Title EMCDDA-Europol 2010 Annual Report on the implementation of Council Decision 2005/387/JHA : in accordance with Article 10 of Council Decision 2005/387/JHA on the information exchange, risk-assessment and control of new psychoactive substances Type Report
  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 15, annexes  
  Keywords cooperation; internet; monitoring; risk assessment; mephedrone; psychoactive substances; Europe  
  Abstract This report presents the results and outlines the key achievements for 2010 on the information exchange, risk-assessment and control of new psychoactive substances. In 2010, 41 new psychoactive substances were officially notified for the first time in the European Union through the Early-Warning System (EWS). Of those, 15 were synthetic cathinones and 11 were synthetic cannabinoids. Substances belonging to more established chemical families were also reported – five phenethylamines, one tryptamine and one piperazine. The list of newly notified substances was rather diverse and also included a plant-based substance, a synthetic cocaine, a ketamine derivative, a phencyclidine derivative, an indane, a benzofuran, as well as a substance which can be seen as a designer medicine. The report also describes the increased availability of ’legal highs’ and the EMCDDA’s activities in monitoring the online shops selling these products, as well as the risk assessment of mephedrone, which was submitted to control measures and criminal penalties throughout the European Union.

This year’s edition starts with an overview of the illicit drug situation worldwide and regionally, followed by more comprehensive discussions and statistical trends for the key transnational drug markets, namely opium/heroin, coca/cocaine, amphetamine-type stimulants and cannabis.
