20.07.2010 EU Counter-Terrorism policy: Commission outlines main achievements and future challenges
The European Commission adopted today a communication taking stock of the main tools in place under the EU Counter-Terrorism Strategy
The communication outlines achievements and foreseen upcoming challenges and initiatives, laying the foundation for a broader Internal Security Strategy, which is planned for this autumn
Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs stated: "Thankfully, the overall number of terrorist attacks and arrests is decreasing in the EU, but at the same time terrorist methods and terrorist propaganda are evolving and taking new forms. We must make sure that we are able to meet these new threats. Today I am presenting a comprehensive overview of what the EU has done so far and what challenges still lie ahead. This will be an important component in the EU internal security strategy that I will present in the autumn.”
