This Tendances issue presents its main results. 

This scheme, set up within the context of the triennial plan approved by government in June 1999, aims at identifying and depicting as soon as possible emerging phenomena in connection with illicit drugs unlikely to appear in other methods of data collection. 

Spotting such phenomena must provide decision-makers, professionals, and citizens an unbiased basis to start considering the most appropriate behaviours and guidelines for responding precociously to such evolutions.
