Notes:

1. The trends represent the available information on national street-level prices for each drug in the EU Member States, weighted by country population sizes to form an overall EU trend. Prices have been adjusted for national inflation rates (base year 2006) and all series indexed to a base of 100 in 2006.

2. Countries missing drug price information for two or more consecutive years are not included in the trend calculations: the trend for LSD is based on eleven countries (71 % of the EU population 15-64), amphetamine on sixteen countries (86 % of the EU population 15-64), cocaine on seventeen countries (89 % of the EU population 15-64), ecstasy on nineteen countries (93 % of the EU population 15-64), herbal cannabis on seventeen countries (87 % of the EU population 15-64), and cannabis resin on seventeen countries (80 % of the EU population 15-64). Trend for heroin and other drugs are not available due to insufficient data to perform representative analysis.

3. Additionally, where 2011 data are missing (ten cases) 2010 prices are used; for missing 2006 data (ten cases) 2007 prices are used; data missing for other years (ten cases) have been interpolated from adjacent years.
