(Euronews) Brussels has unveiled a new package of measures aimed at tackling the threat of terrorism in Europe, including plans to give a stronger role to Europol.
A spate of recent terrorism attacks prompted the European Commission (EC) to publish the measures earlier than initially planned.
“The European way of life is not optional and we must do all in our power to prevent those that seek to undo it,” said Margaritis Schinas, EC vice president.
“With today’s Counter-Terrorism Agenda we are putting the focus on investing in the resilience of our societies with measures to better counter radicalisation and to protect our public spaces from attacks through targeted measures.”
