Question for written answer  E-002297/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Loucas Fourlas (PPE)

The spread of drugs, particularly among young people, remains one of the most important social threats in the European Union. New psychoactive substances are rapidly circulating on the market, often originating from non-EU countries, and are difficult to trace. At the same time, organised crime continues to use new trafficking methods, mainly using digital media and postal services.

Given the consequences for health, safety and social cohesion:

• 1.How does the Commission intend to strengthen the European early warning and information exchange mechanism on new substances?
• 2.What financial instruments are available to Member States for prevention and rehabilitation, particularly in school and youth settings?
• 3.Is there any intention to set up a pan-European information campaign on the dangers of drugs?
