19. What do the EPDT Team need? Your Help Member State ECRIS Contacts Cocaine and Heroin Conviction Data

20. Summary The project will analyse and share drug trafficking results with co-beneficiaries. The development of the IT analysis tool will enable co- beneficiaries to conduct their own analysis of criminal record data. Exchange your contact details with the EPDT Team. Provide the EPDT project with ECRIS Data. Funding to assist co-beneficiaries with data extraction.
