Brussels, 10/06/2004 (Agence Europe) - With the aid of several banking federations, the European Commission has created an electronic database of people fined by the EU for acts of terrorism. This has been announced by four banking federations (European Banking Federation, European Savings Banks Groups, European Association of Cooperative Banks, European Association of Public Banks and Funding Agencies) in a press release published on Thursday. In October 2003, Commissioner Chris Patten undertook to set up a database to guarantee greater efficiency of European decisions to freeze the assets of terrorists, which had until then been published solely in the Official Journal. This list, which is available to the public but aimed mainly for use by banks, includes information contained in the Official Journal (name of persons, passport numbers, nationality, occupation, known addresses).
