Against terror threat/ Twenty-eight member countries met in Brussels

Europe is waking up. The Europol (European Police Office), which has new authority to collect information on people who have never been convicted of a criminal offense, is going to be the tool the EU is planning to use in order to create a more centralized intelligence sharing system which will allow security services to monitor and track suspects throughout the union. EU officials are also looking to improve information sharing with Arab countries.

Foreign ministers from the European Union’s (EU) twenty-eight member countries met in Brussels earlier this week to discuss anti-terror initiatives following the terror attacks in Paris and the breakup of a jihadist cell in Belgium. The EU is expected to enter a new era of travel surveillance and anti-terror initiatives.
