Fight against terrorism
Terrorism remains one of the crucial security challenges of the contemporary world. It takes many forms and uses ever more sophisticated and deadly organizational techniques and operational methods.
The European Union has adopted several documents to face better this persisting international security challenge. The corner stone in the field of fight against terrorism is The European Union Counter-terrorism Strategy and its integral part The European Union Counter-terrorism Action Plan, which was adopted after the terrorist attacks in London in 2005.
The EU also gives a lot of attention to the issue of combating radicalization and recruitment of immigrants into terrorist structures, for this purpose the EU created a document called The European Union Strategy for Combating Radicalization and Recruitment to Terrorism.
In the EU framework there has been established also a position of a Counterterrorism Coordinator, who ensures the coherency of the EU and its members‘ activities in this area.
