09/06/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 9 June the Council of the EU adopted conclusions on how to protect Europeans from terrorism, which call on Member States to continue sharing information on foreign terrorist fighters and to impose entry bans on third-country nationals posing a threat. Member States must also continue to enter these bans into the Schengen Information System. Cooperation between counter-terrorism and immigration and asylum authorities should be strengthened. It is also necessary to reduce “the means of action of individuals and organisations promoting radicalisation” and to deprive organisations promoting violence and hatred of public funds, with the text also covering foreign interference on “religious organisations”. The European Commission is also invited to assess the interest of developing new legislation on illicit arms trafficking. More info at: https://aeur.eu/f/20t (SP)
