A study by the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction and Europol estimates that so much cocaine has never entered the European market as in 2022. A gram of coca cost around 50 euros on the streets of Brussels 15 years ago.
Today it is available for 20 euros. Europe knows that the problem is at origin ( the Ecuadorian port of Guayaquil has become the main outlet for drugs to Europe in recent years ), but increasingly at destination. It is impossible to control the tens of thousands of containers that are unloaded every day in European ports.
