A recent shootout over drug trafficking in France that degenerated into a massive fight between rival gangs, involving hundreds of people, prompted authorities to compare the French state to Mexico – the land of drug cartels. For Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, France's drug problem is "at a tipping point". But this is not just happening in France. The EU's law enforcement agency Europol says that several member states are experiencing unprecedented levels of drug-related violence.
So is the EU losing its grip on organised crime? And what could the joint solutions be? We discuss this with two MEPs who are both on the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.
