Europa. New threat assessment system launched to strengthen Europe’s response to drug-related threats
The European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) today launched the new EUDA Health and Security Threat Assessment System (ETAS), designed to strengthen Europe’s preparedness for serious and emerging drug-related threats and to support coordinated responses. Foreseen under the EUDA regulation, the service was unveiled at the meeting of the Heads of Reitox national focal points (NFPs), taking place this week in Lisbon, bringing together representatives from across Europe.

The first assessments under the new system are focusing on highly potent synthetic opioids and the availability and harms of crack cocaine in the EU. These are being carried out in close cooperation with the countries concerned. A pilot threat assessment, published in June 2025, examined the evolving presence and impact of highly potent synthetic opioids (particularly ‘nitazenes’ and carfentanil) in the Baltic States.
