Brussels, 11/03/2010 (Agence Europe) - On the 6th European Day in memory of the victims of terrorism, on Thursday 11 March, EU anti-terrorism coordinator Gilles de Kerkhove called for measures to help the victims of acts of terrorism. “Supporting the victims of terrorism is essential to deglamourise terrorism in the minds of those who consider terror a legitimate tool for political action,” he stated. “It is my expectation that the critical examination underway between the EU institutions, national organisations and non-governmental organisations will produce an actionable Commission proposal by the beginning of 2011 for a comprehensive instrument providing common minimum standards for international solidarity with the victims of terrorism, including measures to address the compensation to EU citizens who suffer a terrorist attack outside the EU,” he said.
