Portugal – Beratung im Bereich Forschung und Entwicklung – MILOU - Monitoring Implementation of Legislation – Outcomes for Users

Work towards a European overview of the implementation of EU Member States’ drug control laws regarding use-related offences, by designing and implementing appropriate data collection methods and reporting, ultimately supporting Member States to develop and evaluate their evidence-based drug policies (with the possibility of using this methodology for all drug offences in future). Specifically, this will be by examining which punitive and/or rehabilitative responses (“outcomes”) are more or less likely to be given to people by the relevant authorities in the different EUDA reporting countries for use-related “drug law offences” (unlawful possession, purchase, use, cultivation or production of controlled drugs for personal consumption. This need for information translates into two main project objectives: A) Develop a method of relevant data collection B) Create an overview of the data, collaborating with EUDA to compile a first interactive overview of the implementation of drug laws for use-related offences in EUDA countries.
