Ifølge Europa-Parlamentets udvalg om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender er der omkring 3 millioner daglige hashrygere i EU.
Members of Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee heard that around 3 million may be using cannabis on a daily or almost daily basis.
Næsten en tredjedel af alle voksne i EU har prøvet at ryge hash, og omkring 7 % (23 millioner mennesker) har røget hash indenfor det seneste år.
Nearly a quarter of all adults in the EU (around 70 million aged 15-64) have tried cannabis at some point in their lives, and around 7%, or 23 million, have used it in the last year.
Andelen af unge hashmisbrugere er særlig høj.
Although its popularity among young people is declining, use remains high among young males.
13 % af unge europæere (mellem 15 og 34 år) har røget hash indenfor det seneste år.
An average of 13% of 13-34 year old Europeans used cannabis over the past year.
Direktøren for Det Europæiske Overvågningscenter for Narkotika og Narkotikamisbrug (EMCDDA), Wolfgang Götz sagde under en pressekonference: "Jeg tror, at der er grundlag for at være forsigtigt optimistiske.
The highest rates are 20% in Spain, 19.3% in the Czech Republic and around 16% in France, Italy and the UK.
Den stigning i hashforbruget som vi har oplevet siden 1990´erne har nået sit højdepunkt."
During a Parliament press conference, Wolfgang Götz, director of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) said: "I think we can be cautiously optimistic that the escalation of cannabis use that we have seen in Europe since the 1990s may now have reached its peak."
Ifølge rapporten er der også positive tegn på, at heroinforbruget er faldende.
The report also notes positive signs that heroin use and drug injection have become declined.
Flere kokainmisbrugere
Cocaine Europe's stimulant drug of choice
Til trods for store forskelle mellem EU´s medlemslande viser undersøgelser at kokain er det næstmest populære ulovlige beruselsesmiddel efter cannabis.
Despite wide variations between countries, the latest data confirms cocaine's place as Europe's stimulant drug of choice and the second most commonly used illicit drug after cannabis and ahead of ecstasy and amphetamines.
EMCDDA estimerer, at omkring 4,5 millioner europæere har indtaget kokain indenfor det seneste år.
EMCDDA estimates that around 4.5 million Europeans used cocaine in the last year, compared with 3.5 million in 2006 - although Mr Gotz explained that some of the rise can be explained by better reporting by EU countries.
Narkorelaterede dødsfald stadigt et problem i Europa
Europe fails to reduce drug-related deaths
En af rapportens hovedkonklusioner er, at Europa stadig har et stort problem med narkorelaterede dødsfald.
The report says that Europe is not making enough progress in reducing drug-related deaths.
Næstformanden for Europa-Parlamentets udvalg om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender, Giusto Catania (Den Europæiske Venstrefløjs Fællesgruppe/Nordisk Grønne Venstre) - der i 2004 var forfatter til EU´s narkotikastrategi for perioden 2005 - 2012 - sagde, at tallene var udtryk for, at EU´s narkotikastrategi ikke fungerede.
Civil liberties committee vice-chairman Giusto Catania (an Italian MEP from the Confederal Group of the European United Left - Nordic Green Left), who drafted the 2004 EP recommendation on EU drugs strategy (2005-2012), said that in his personal view figures show that the EU drug strategy does not work.
"Vi er nødt til at ændre vores strategi i bekæmpelsen af narkomisbrug."
"We have to change our strategy on how to combat drug use."
Efter hans opfattelse, er flere restriktioner ikke vejen frem.
He said a repressive prohibition policy is not the answer.

Store ødelæggelser efter tropisk cyklon ramte Bangladesh
Bangladesh: MEP sees EU humanitarian aid reach cyclone victims
Genopbygningen er begyndt i Bangladesh
Rebuilding after Cyclone Sidr
For en uge siden blev Bangladesh ramt en ødelæggende cyklon, der tog 3500 menneskeliv med sig.
When cyclone Sidr crashed into Bangladesh it took the lives of over 3,500 people and left two million people destitute.
Myndighederne frygter, at dette tal vil stige yderligere.
With winds of 220 km/h and tidal surges of up to 5 metres it swept away 450,000 homes.
Bangladesh er et af verdens fattigste lande, og nødhjælpen er strømmet til efter ulykken.
Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world and aid has been pouring into the country after the disaster.
Formanden for Europa-Parlamentets delegation til Sydasien er netop kommet tilbage fra Bangladesh.
UK MEP Robert Evans, chair of the EP delegation for Southern Asia, has been in Bangladesh as part of a long planned visit.
Vi fik mulighed for at stille ham et par spørgsmål om hans oplevelser under turen.
We spoke to him by phone about what he has observed.
Næsten halvdelen af landets befolkning lever for under 1 dollar om dagen.
Mr. Evans, what have you seen so far in terms of destruction and aid delivery?
Siden oktober sidste år har landet haft en midlertidig regering.
We have been visiting the Southern part of Bangladesh which has been hardest hit.
Evans, hvor meget ødelæggelse og udeling af nødhjælp så du under turen?
The wind and the tidal wave, a small Tsunami if you like, swept away these houses mostly made of corrugated iron.
Vi besøgte det sydlige Bangladesh, som er den del, der blev hårdest ramt.
Despite the official warning many people have been taken by surprise.
Vi har set massive ødelæggelser.
On the other side we have also seen the military and many charities actually getting aid to the people.
Mange hjem er fuldstændigt ødelagte - i nogle landsbyer op til 80 % af dem... til trods for de officielle advarsler, kom det som en overraskelse for mange.
It seems to be filtering through although of course more would be required.
Mange har forladt deres kreatur og forsyningsmuligheder.
Also a huge number of people have lost their live stocks and livelihoods.
Så problemet med madforsyninger er ikke et spørgsmål om uger, men om måneder.
So the problems will not be for a few weeks but for months on the food front.
Derudover vil behovet for tøj og rent vand stige, i takt med at vejret bliver køligere.
Also, as it gets colder they will need more clothing and fresh water of course.
På den måde vil der være mange udfordringer for Bangladesh i de kommende måneder, måske år.
So there are ongoing issues for Bangladesh for the next months, perhaps years.
Hvad mener du om EU´s katastrofehjælp i forbindelse med orkanen i Bangladesh og mere generelt?
What do you make of the EU's disaster aid in this case and more generally?
Jeg synes, at EU er en de hurtigste og mest fornuftige aktører, når det kommer til nødhjælpssituationer, af den type som vi så i Bangladesh.
I think the EU is one of the fastest and in some ways most sensible actors, in the way we provide our aid in circumstance as cyclone hit Bangladesh.
Et fortsat problem - uanset om vi ser på Bangladesh, jordskælvet i Pakistan eller Tsunamien - er logistikken på landjorden.
What is a continual problem from my experience – whether we look at Bangladesh now or Pakistan after the earthquake or in the Tsunami area – is the logistics on the ground for actually distributing the aid.
Altså distribueringen af nødhjælpen.
The management in disaster areas often seems not to function properly.
Den bangladeshiske hær arbejder flittigt, men jeg tror at logistisk støtte, måske fra EU- landene med erfaring på området, kunne være en stor hjælp.
The Bangladeshi army are working very well, but I think some logistical aid perhaps from EU countries with experience could help.
Mener du, at EU skal levere større hjælp til lande som Bangladesh, så de bedre kan forberede sig på kommende naturkatastrofer?
Based on your experience after the 2004 Tsunami and now, do you think the EU could make a greater contribution so that countries like Bangladesh are better prepared for and to some extent can mitigate natural disasters?
Ja, jeg mener at EU kunne gøre mere, end det er tilfældet nu.
Yes, I think the EU could do more.
Vi kunne ikke have forhindret orkanen, men Bangladesh oplever ofte oversvømmelser, fordi landet ligger så lavt over havoverfladen.
We could not have prevented the cyclone but Bangladesh also gets flooded regularly because much of the land is low lying.
I EU - særligt i Holland - har vi stor erfaring med at beskytte bygninger imod oversvømmelser.
In the EU, particularly in the Netherlands, we have great experience in protecting land and buildings from flooding.
Jeg er ikke sikker på, at vi gør nok for at videregive vores erfaring og ekspertise til den bangladeshiske befolkning.
I am not sure we are doing enough in offering expertise and skill to the people of Bangladesh.

Valg til Europa-Parlamentet i Rumænien på søndag
Romanians go to polls on Sunday to elect 35 MEPs
EP-valg i Rumænien
Romanians go to the polls
Søndag den 25. november vil mere end 18 millioner rumænere stemme om hvilke MEP´er, der skal repræsentere dem i Europa-Parlamentet.
One of the newest members of the EU goes to the polls on Sunday to elect Members of the European Parliament for the first time.
Valgkampen i Rumænien blev skudt i gang den 26. oktober 2007.
The 35 MEPs elected will hold office until EP elections in mid-2009.
Hovedtemaerne under valgkampen har indtil videre været forbedring af levestandarden, samt muligheden for at kunne rejse frit indenfor EU.
They will replace the sitting Romanian MEPs who were nominated by the national parliament for the first months of EU membership.
Derudover har også andre EU-borgere som bor fast i Rumænien mulighed for at stemme.
Candidates must be 23 to stand and Romanians, and citizens from other EU countries with their main residence in Romania who may also take part in the election, must be 18 to vote.
Man skal være mindst 23 år gammel for at stille op til valget.
Candidates will be elected via proportional representation.
Hvem deltager i valget?
Official results are not expected until Wednesday.
Vælgerne har mulighed for at stemme på alle de 13 partier, der har indgivet kandidatlister.
Appeal for high turnout
Kandidaterne bliver valgt efter proportionalitetsprincippet og med en spærregrænse på 5 %.
The poll is crucial as it will be an early indicator of attitudes towards the country's membership of the EU since January this year.
De rumænske medier vil sandsynligvis offentliggøre foreløbige meningsmålinger i løbet af søndagen, men det endelige valgresultat ventes først på onsdag i næste uge.
Its importance was underlined by Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering when he visited Bucharest on 15-16 October.
Parlamentets formand opfodrer rumænerne til at stemme
He called on the people of Romania to vote in the "greatest possible numbers".
Europa-Parlamentets formand, Hans-Gert Pöttering var i Rumænien den 15 og 16. oktober, hvor han på det kraftigste opfordrede den rumænske befolkning til at stemme til valget: "Ved at stemme den 25. november får den rumænske befolkning mulighed for at vise betydningen af deres land, som en vigtig medlemsstat i Den Europæiske Union.
He went on to say that "by casting the vote on the 25th of November, the citizens of Romania will have the chance to express the importance of their country as an important member state of the European Union".
Deres fremtid er vores fælles fremtid: Vores fælles fremtid er Europa", sagde Pöttering.
Romania joins Bulgaria in historic poll
Tiltrædelsestraktaten for Bulgarien og Rumænien fastslog, at de to lande skulle afholde valg inden udgangen af 2007.
When they joined the EU in January this year the Treaty of Accession stipulated that both Romania and Bulgaria must hold elections to the European Parliament in 2007.
Bulgarien afholdte deres første europaparlamentsvalg søndag den 20. maj, hvor 20 bulgarske MEP´er blev valgt ind.
Bulgaria elected its 18 MEPs on 20 May this year.
Rumænerne vil samtidig med europaparlamentsvalget stemme om en reform af det nationale valgsystem.
The elections on Sunday will coincide with a referendum on election reform for national elections in Romania.

Strengere regler for besiddelse af våben
MEPs to debate tightening gun laws
Strengere regler for køb af håndvåben på vej
MEPs Wednesday debate proposals aimed at making it harder to acquire guns in the European Union.
Medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet diskuterede onsdag og vedtog torsdag en række forslag, der sigter mod at gøre det sværere at købe håndvåben i Den Europæiske Union.
Control on internet sales, targeting converted guns and giving greater weight to the European Firearms Pass are among the proposals.
Bedre informationsudveksling og kontrol med våbenhandel, herunder køb og salg på Internettet, var blandt de forslag som var på dagsordenen.
The report, drafted by German Green MEP Gisela Kallenbach follows Commission proposals to update rules agreed in 1991.
Håndvåben er lettilgængelige i Europa
Earlier this month an 18 year old killed 8 people and himself at the Jokela High School in Finland.
I november skød og dræbte en 18-årig mand syv elever og en rektor på et finsk gymnasium, hvorefter han tog sit eget liv.
In Erfurt in Eastern Germany 17 people were slain in a school shooting five years ago.
Det er ikke første gang, at en sådan massakre har ramt det europæiske skolemiljø.
These incidents are part of a sad litany of tragedy reminding Europeans that gun control really matters.
Erfurt i Tyskland i 2002 og Dunblane i Skotland i 1996 var lignende eksempler på tragedier, der måske kunne have været undgået, hvis der var bedre kontrol med køb og salg af skydevåben i Europa.
In a world of internet sales and open borders, national laws cannot sufficiently address what many authorities see as a growing and sometimes critical problem.
Håndvåben er ofte let tilgængelige, relativt billige og lette at anvende.
There are more guns in Europe than might you think.
USA topper listen med 90 skydevåben per 100 indbyggere.
In the United States the figure is 90 guns per 100 people.
Finland ligger på en tredjeplads med 56 skydevåben per 100 indbyggere.
The proposals in the report include making it harder to acquire guns by controlling sales over the internet.
I Frankrig, Østrig, Sverige og Tyskland ligger tallet på omkring 30 skydevåben per 100 indbyggere.
It also targets arms trafficking: criminal gangs who make and smuggle arms would be covered by the new directive with a stricter definition of what the practice is.
Bedre identificering og informationsudveksling
Ammunition and gun parts would also be included.
Direktivet, som skal erstatte regler fra 1991, vil gøre det sværere at købe og sælge våben i EU, og der kommer krav om, at oplysninger om fremstillingen af skydevåben skal opbevares i længere tid.
The increasing prevalence of "converted guns" has been identified by police forces across Europe as a growing problem.
Målsætningen er at bekæmpe udbredelsen af illegale skydevåben: "Personligt er jeg ikke en stor fan af våben.
They are either replica guns converted into "real" guns by criminals or decommissioned guns being put back into service.
Men jeg forsøger, at forstå folk, der anser det som deres ret at bære våben", siger Gisela Kallenbach.
For the first time these guns will be classified as "firearms" and brought within the directive's remit.
Hun understreger samtidig, at hensigten med forslaget ikke er at ramme f.eks. jægere eller andre personer, der lovligt besidder skydevåben.
Member States will no longer be allowed to make acceptance of the European firearms pass conditional upon the payment of any fee or charge.
Flertallet af hendes kolleger fra Udvalget om Det Indre Marked og Forbrugerbeskyttelse er heller ikke meget for at mistænkeliggøre de personer, der lovligt besidder skydevåben som landmænd og sportsudøvere
EU members will also remain free to introduce stricter rules in their national legislation implementing the directive.
Nye regler på vej
ID that gun!
Det bliver nu i alle lande forbudt for unge under 18 år at erhverve sig våben (undtagen i forhold til jagt og sport - og kun med tilladelse fra forældre), Finland var et af de lande, der havde sat sig imod, da deres nuværende regler ikke var så stramme, men efter skuddramaet er Finland også med på at forbyde unge under 18 at anskaffe sig våben.
The report calls for each gun to have a proper ID that will record the make, model, calibre, serial number and the names and addresses of those who supply and own such weapons.
Det sidste skal blandt andet ske i form af mere ensartede mærkningsteknikker for skydevåben.
Ms Kallenbach told us that "one document for all EU citizens is better than 27 documents".
Parlamentet ønsker også, at direktivet skal dække salg af våben via Internettet, og at medlemslande skal udøve en streng kontrol med våbenhandlerne.
Speaking to us ahead of the debate she said, "personally I am not a gun fan but I try to understand people who love guns and think it is a right to have them".
De nye regler forventes at træde i kraft senest januar 2008.
The text being debated Wednesday is a first reading compromise with the Council of Ministers.
Det betyder, at reglerne senest i 2010 skal være omsat til lov i medlemslandene.
If approved it will come into force in January 2008 and should be transposed into national legislation by 2010.
Medlemslandene kan stadig på eget initiativ vedtage strammere regler.
Watch the debate live online from 1830 CET this evening.

Onsdag under EP-samlingen
Wednesday in Plenary, Spanish PM Zapatero, Fundamental Rights, Guns
Den spanske premierminister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero
Spain's PM José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero
Under onsdagens samling i Bruxelles diskuterede MEP´erne EU´s charter for fundamentale rettigheder, der indgår i den nye reformtraktat.
Meeting in Brussels for a two day Plenary session MEPs debated the Charter of Fundamental Rights which should come into force under the new Reform Treaty.
Spaniens premierminister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero præsenterede sin vision for EU´s fremtidige udvikling.
Later Spain's Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero addressed the House where he outlined his vision for the future of the European Union.
Spaniens premierminister Zapatero
Spanish PM Zapatero lays out his vision to MEPs
Debatten med Spaniens premierminister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero var led i en række af debatter med stats- og regeringschefer fra EU´s medlemslande.
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero used his speech to the House to outline his vision of which direction the European Union should take.
Målsætningen med debatterne er at diskutere fremtidsperspektiverne for EU´s udvikling.
He told MEPs of the importance that Spain attaches to the southern dimension of the EU's Neighbourhood Policy.
Erfaringen har vist, at når vi er det, så går det godt."
After the speech, it was the turn of MEPs to react and put their questions.
Han kom også ind på EU´s rolle som global aktør, der i de senere år har indtaget en større og større plads på den europæiske dagsorden: "Vi er globale partnere, fordi vi ikke kun er et projekt for europæere," sagde Zapatero.
Many expressed appreciation for the Spanish PM's commitment to Europe, with many also remarking - each from their own perspective - on the strong support of the Spanish people for the draft constitution when it was put to them in a referendum.
"Vores succes er i lang udstrækning målt i forhold til, hvad vi er for andre - den vægt vores stemme har i verden.
But also some critical voices were heard about the position of the Spanish government, for example saying that the EU structural funds were not used in Spain in line with the objectives of the Kyoto protocol.
Fremtiden har mere end nogensinde brug for Europa," sagde han og mente, at den nye traktat vil komme med effektive instrumenter til den fælles udenrigspolitik.
Mr Zapatero was speaking as part of the Parliament's ongoing debate with European leaders being asked to outline their vision of Europe.
MEP´erne debatterede en række forslag om stramninger af våbenloven, herunder køb og salg af våben over Internettet.
Sales and ownership of guns
Det foreslåede direktiv, som skal erstatte regler fra 1991, vil gøre det sværere at købe og sælge våben i EU, og der kommer krav om, at oplysninger om fremstillingen af skydevåben skal opbevares i længere tid.
MEPs debated new rules on the acquisition and possession of weapons, especially with a view to internet sales and guns "converted" by criminals.
Betænkningen, der blev diskuteret i parlamentssalen onsdag, er udarbejdet af Gisela Kallenbach (Gruppen De grønne/Den Europæiske Fri Alliance, Tyskland) og var et resultat af lange forhandlinger med Rådet.
They also called for the European Firearms Pass to be upgraded.
MEP'erne, vedtog torsdag med stort flertal strammere regler for kontrol med skydevåben.
For more on the issues involved, see our separate report at the second link below.
Opdatering af Tv-direktivet
TV Without Frontiers, Railways
Nye bestemmelser for reklameindslag og produktplacering i tv-udsendelser var også på dagsordenen i løbet af onsdagens samling.
Parliament also discussed new stricter rules on TV advertising and product placement.
Ruth Hieronymi (tysk MEP fra Gruppen Det Europæiske Folkeparti (kristelige demokrater) og Europæiske Demokrater) er ordfører på en betænkning om revisionen af direktivet "Fjernsyn uden grænser".
Rapporteur Ms Ruth Hieronymi (EPP-ED) demanded in her report that commercial breaks will be permitted only every 30 minutes.
De nye regler indbefatter blandt andet at reklamer ikke må fylde mere end 12 minutter per time.
The maximum of amount of advertising should not exceed 12 minutes per hour.
Der vil blive stemt om betænkningen torsdag.
The report will be voted on Thursday.

Jo Leinen om Charteret for Grundlæggende rettigheder
Jo Leinen on Charter of Fundamental Rights: "we have been waiting 50 years"
Jo Leinen
Jo Leinen MEP "citizens are 100% protected"
Charteret for Grundlæggende Rettigheder blev oprindeligt vedtaget som et juridisk ubindende dokument på Nice topmødet i 2000.
The Charter of Fundamental Rights will take on legal force under the Reform Treaty and is due to be "solemnly proclaimed' by the Parliament, Council and Commission in Strasbourg on 12 December.
Vi fik mulighed for at stille Jo Leinen, der er formand for Parlamentets udvalg om konstitutionelle anliggender, et par spørgsmål.
It is divided into six chapters: Dignity, Freedom, Solidarity, Equality, Citizenship and Justice.
