The increased strength in police surveillance, has forced the drug smugglers to use ship containers that are offloaded in the Spanish ports, Dutch ports in Rotterdam and Amsterdam or Hamburg, Germany.

Small boats have also been used, but they can only carry a small amount, he added.

To overcome these tough measures of surveillance, drug dealers have had to resort to creating storage points in ports of Africa, to then be shipped to Europe although that doubles their risks.

Due to the reduced activity of transport of the Galician drug smugglers, they have taken another strategy by moving to south of Morocco, and began to work in introducing hashish through Portugal or any other country in Europe.

"Also, the Columbian drug dealers have used more sophisticated methods of transport", the chief commented, and pointed out that in Europe they were only able to detected very few small submarines, that were barely submerged below the water sailing along the coast with little autonomy.

Quiros highlighted the collaboration from the anti-drug agencies of the United States, that even in the UK and in Bulgaria; a large amount of cocaine has been confiscated that "has dismantled the transportation groups and their colleagues" to the point where "even the most important Galician leaders have fallen, and that are now in prison". He concluded.
