Cocaine availability in Europe is higher than ever before, according to the European Drugs Report.

• The most recent EUDA data (European Drug Report 2026, published 9 June 2026, i.e. before the session) shows that seizures fell from the record 419 tonnes in 2023 to 330 tonnes in 2024; the 2026 report describes availability as 'remains high' rather than as a new record, so 'more available than ever' rests primarily on the 2023 record documented in the 2025 report.
• Record seizure volumes are an indirect proxy for availability; the claim does not mention purity, price or demand-side indicators.
