"The rapporteur lists organised crime, terrorism and cybercrime as the main issues of the EU internal security strategy. In Lithuania, the problem of organised crime is a major cause for concern. According to EU statistics, as the economic situation has worsened, the level of crime in Lithuania has grown dramatically. In recent years, the number of crimes involving the possession of drugs has grown by 19%. The Economist Intelligence Unit predicts that this growth in crime will continue in the coming years. In its latest report on crime in Europe, the international policing agency, Europol, drew attention to Lithuanian organised crime. In the report entitled Organised Crime Threat Assessment 2011, Lithuania was mentioned 24 times, mostly in the context of organised crime. By comparison, Estonia is mentioned three times in the report, and Latvia only once. According to the Europol report, Lithuanian organised crime groups have established a drug trafficking infrastructure, developing supply routes and supplier networks in almost all regions of Lithuania. Given that Lithuania is an EU Member State, this is not just a problem for Lithuania but for the whole of Europe. Since 2008, the number of criminal offences in the EU has grown by 7% every year."@en1
