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.

From that link:
In total, 41 of the 46 surface swabs taken at European Parliament buildings A to H in Brussels contained traces of the highly-addictive drug.

Now all they have to do is figure out which news media personalities are doing it.

The EU's constitution is so confoundin to me that I should have suspected this long ago. In retrospect, it's obvious.

cocaine abuse was not a problem among staff
Which clearly means it's a problem among the members...

Seems like I read somewhere that almost every $100 bill
has traces of coke on it.

Yeah, they're not "abusing" cocaine, they only do one line at lunchtime, three times a week.

That appears to be the implication. Try as they might to claim the building is "open to the public" who else is going there?

Nanogramic quantities of cocaine exist nearly everywhere these days. This is a non-story.

LOL! Say what you want about the news media, but I'm glad my job isn't to swab toilets (anywhere, but most particularly at the EU's Parliament).

Maybe, but not according to the article:
A professor who analysed the samples said the amounts found were too great to have been carried in on clothing.
