SUBJECT: Portugal: INL DAS McCampbell Visit Analyzes European 
Transshipment 
1. (SBU) SUMMARY: During INL DAS Christy McCampbell's May 11 visit 
to Lisbon, she met with several counterparts to discuss the 
increasing use of Portugal as a transshipment area for drugs. 
 
Portuguese interlocutors offered a brief analysis into the drug 
trafficking problem facing Portugal and Europe writ large and urged 
the U.S. to continue to enhance our law enforcement cooperation 
efforts.  End Summary. 
------------------------- 
TOOLS TO COMBAT THE SURGE 
------------------------- 
2. (SBU) According to Judicial Police (Policia Judiciaria - PJ) 
statistics, Portugal has seen significant jumps in maritime drug 
trafficking over the last three years.  Cocaine seizures totaled 
seven metric tons in 2004, rose to 18 tons in 2005 and reached 34 
metric tons last year.  PJ Director Alipio Ribeiro told DAS 
McCampbell that much of the increased cocaine activity was coming 
through Africa - especially Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau -- before 
reaching Portugal.  He explained that the PJ was working to combat 
that trend by training Cape Verde law enforcement and conducting 
more undercover operations.  Ribeiro mentioned that the PJ had made 
a large hashish seizure the night before the visit: 4.9 metric tons 
of hashish, 2 vehicles, 4 cell phones, and 5,000 Euros cash entering 
from Morocco.  He told McCampbell that, although the PJ were 
successful in undercover operations, it would be "very interesting 
to work with DEA in Portugal" on future training for undercover 
operations.  (Note: DEA Madrid currently coordinates undercover 
operations with PJ officials and is attempting to open an office in 
Lisbon if resources allow.) 
3. (SBU) The narcotics trade increasingly affects other European 
nations and in 2006 seven EU member states agreed to form a 
multinational Maritime Analysis Operations Center (MAOC), with 
headquarters in Lisbon.  Portugal, the UK, France, Spain, Ireland, 
Italy, and the Netherlands aim to share information, train narcotics 
monitoring specialists, and establish transnational operational 
taskings.  While the MAOC is not yet fully operational, British 
Liaison Officer Glen Pounder reported that the group already had 
completed a successful operation where members shared information to 
seize a maritime shipment.  Once the group is operational and 
members have an approved memorandum of understanding, the MAOC will 
facilitate cross-border arrests by using Law Enforcement Detachment 
(LEDETs).  The LEDETS are dedicated personnel who will serve as 
liaison officers to coordinate arrests in their respective 
jurisdictions.  DAS McCampbell noted that MAOC has based its efforts 
on the highly successful Joint Inter Agency Task Force (JIATF-South) 
work and underscored JIATF's valuable role in U.S. counternarcotics 
efforts. 
---------------------- 
Tripartite Cooperation 
---------------------- 
4. (U) Both Pounder and Ribeiro reported that narcotraffickers were 
increasingly using African routes before landing in Europe.  Due to 
Portugal's historic relationship with Portuguese-speaking African 
nations, it is regularly asked by African partners to assist with 
police training and maritime operations in Africa.  Embassy Lisbon's 
Country Team mentioned to DAS McCampbell that Portugal and the 
United States have been successful in developing tripartite 
cooperation programs on key issues.  For example, the Department of 
Commerce has been working with the Portuguese to modernize Angola's 
justice sector and DAO cited enhanced cooperation with the 
Portuguese on defense related issues in Africa as well.  Ambassador 
Hoffman emphasized Portugal's repeated requests for a closer 
relationship on narcotics and the importance of establishing a 
full-time U.S. counternarcotics presence in Portugal. 
----------------- 
Facts and Figures 
----------------- 
5. (U) The European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction 
(EMCDDA) Director of Reduction and Cooperation Alexis Goddard 
explained that the center focuses on gathering information, tracking 
treatment data, drug-related crime, and establishing a common EU 
definition for joint action on the issue.  Goddard reported that the 
center works mostly with other narcotics observation units and has 
sponsored best practices conferences with Latin American nations. 
EMCDDA is the only observatory in the world that covers twenty-nine 
different nations (the EU 27, Turkey, and Croatia) and produces 
trend studies for each.  Goddard offered DAS McCampbell the latest 
statistics and underscored that Europe was developing a more 
targeted, unified approach on the narcotics issue as a result of 
having reliable statistics. 
6. (U) DAS McCampbell was interviewed by Portuguese weekly 
newsmagazine "Sabado" (circ. 56,000) on counternarcotics issues and 
on her personal experience as a law enforcement officer in the field 
at the local and state levels.  Embassy Lisbon will pass the story 
as soon as it is published. 
7. (U) This cable has been cleared by DAS McCampbell.
