| Comparative Criminology | Europe - Portugal (16795 words) |
 | Portugal was an important transshipment point for narcotics because of its geographic position near the North African coast and on the air routes between South America and Western Europe. |
| The existence in Portugal of an intelligence apparatus for political surveillance and control was as old as the modern state and dated at least from the sixteenth century. |
| Portugal is also a member of the Council of Europe's Pompidou Group, begun in 1971, which provides a Europe-level forum for the discussion and exchange of information on narcotics and narcotics-trafficking issues. |
