head shop in Graz (Styria) in August 2010 because of the impending prohibition of mephedrone (ORF coverage of 6 August 2010 40 ). 10.2 Seizures Austria does not play a significant role as a country where illicit drugs are produced. While cocaine enters Austria primarily by air and by sea from South America, for heroin the route over the Balkans (Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria) is the dominant trafficking route. Cannabis products are imported from various countries and regions such as the Netherlands, the Balkan countries and Morocco; and to a small, but increasing extent, they are home-grown in Austria. Amphetamines and derivatives are mainly imported from the Netherlands (BMI 2009). According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI), in 2009 the number of seizures increased for almost all drugs compared to the previous year (see Figure 10.1 and Table A17 in Annex A). The greatest rises, by one third each, are accounted for by heroin and amphetamines. After the decline in 2008, the level of 2007 has again been reached. The quantities of drugs seized were slightly above the amounts of the year before and similar to 2007, or somewhat higher (see Table A18 in Annex A). One has to bear in mind, however, that individual seizures of large quantities which often are not intended for Austria (transit) distort the general picture. 40 http://steiermark.orf.at/stories/460904/: Mephedron: Suchtgift legal in Graz zu kaufen (7 August 2010; article in German) 92 © GÖG/ÖBIG, <strong>Report</strong> on the Drug Situation 2010

The percentage of pills bought as ecstasy that did not contain psychotropic substances other than MDMA 41 , MDE 42 or MDA 43 was as small as 16%, which is a massive decline 41 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine Chapter 10 / Drug Markets 93
