Cocaine traces at EU parliament
The results suggested cocaine was in regular use in the areas tested.
Cocaine traces have been found at the European Parliament in an inquiry
by one of Germany's main broadcasters.
The Sat-1 channel sent reporters to take 46 swabs from toilets and other
public areas of the Brussels buildings. Nearly all tested positive for
cocaine.
A European Parliament spokeswoman said cocaine abuse was not a problem
among staff working at the buildings. A professor who analysed the
samples said the amounts found were too great to have been carried in on
clothing.
"It simply reflects the fact that cocaine was brought in there,"
Professor Fritz Sorgel of the Institute for Biomedical and
Pharmaceutical Research in Nuremberg (IBMP) told the BBC News website.
"The amount was too high and found in too many spots. It shows it was
brought in deliberately.
