Résumé :
The report first discusses the nexus between drug trafficking and firearms trafficking in the European Union, focusing on the strong linkages between both phenomena. When looking at the use of drug-related gun violence, we provide a more in-depth view of the use of gun violence at respectively the wholesale level of the drug distribution chain and the local consumer market, finding the local consumer market to account for most of the visible drug-related gun violence. Where possible, we tried to uncover differences in the use of gun violence related to the type of drug. However, this is quite difficult because the networks involved are often dealing with more than one substance. Nevertheless, it appears that violence is frequently related to the cocaine business. Finally, the report also addresses the societal impact of drug-related gun violence in the EU.
