Notes:

The figure for 2003 is provisional, since only 10 countries provided data for 2003. The figure for 2003 is based on the countries which provided data for both 2002 and 2003.

Index: 1990 = 100. Nubmers of cases per country per year are presented in [Table DRD-2 part (i) and Table DRD-2 part (v)) in the 2005 statistical bulletin.

Belgium diod not provide data for 1998-2001 and Ireland for 2002. A computation method, defined in EMCDDA (2001), has been used to make corrections for this situation.
