Brochure: 25 years of monitoring and responding to new drugs in Europe

This brochure provides an overview of 25 years of the EU Early Warning System (EWS) on new psychoactive substances (NPS). Operated by the EMCDDA in close cooperation with Europol and other partners, it was the first regional early warning mechanism set up to monitor and respond to uncontrolled new drugs. The system ensures that the EU and its Member States have up-to-the-minute information on NPS and the threats they pose to Europe, in order to protect public health and inform decision-making.
