(14) The drug phenomenon is becoming more and more technology-enabled, as was shown again during the COVID-19 pandemic where a greater adoption of new technologies to facilitate drug distribution has been observed. It is estimated that about two-thirds of the offers on darknet markets are drug-related. Drug trading is using different platforms, including social media networks and mobile applications. This development is mirrored in responses to the drug phenomenon, with an increased use of mobile applications and e-health interventions. The Agency, together with other relevant Union agencies and avoiding duplication of efforts, should monitor such developments as part of its holistic approach to the drug phenomenon. Taking into account technological advancements and more sophisticated encryption methods, the Agency should stress the importance of adopting adequate digital solutions by Member States, in order to tackle the drug phenomenon in a coordinated, coherent and interoperable manner.

(35) The Agency should cooperate closely with relevant international organisations, other governmental and non- governmental bodies and relevant technical bodies from inside and outside the Union in the implementation of its work programme, notably to avoid duplication of work and to ensure access to all data and tools needed for carrying out its mandate. In that regard, it should be possible for the Agency to engage with civil society organisations and other relevant stakeholders in order to raise awareness at Union level.
