An online meeting on the COVID-19 impact to drug markets is to take place on 4 June, in the framework of the EU4Monitoring Drugs project. The event will gather selected experts from south European Neighbourhood countries (ENP) who are participating in the trendspotter study ‘Impact of COVID-19 epidemic to drug markets, drug use and drug-related health responses in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) area’.
