Brussels, 22/07/2005 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission has said it is “shocked” by the further bomb attacks that hit London on Thursday 21 July (without victims), two weeks to the day after the bloody attacks on 7 July. “We are deeply shocked by the recent news from London of what seems to be yet another terrorist attack on London, the UK, Europe and indeed our democracy and the values we stand for in the European Union”, Commission President José Manuel Barroso and Vice-President Franco Frattini (responsible for JHA matters) stated in a joint press release. The second series of attacks “unfortunately confirms that terrorism constitutes a permanent threat from which nobody is safe”, they say. The European Commission will continue to encourage the Member States to do everything they can to implement the anti-terrorism measures which were agreed upon at EU level. “It is also vital to focus on measures which aim at preventing terrorism and particularly preventing young people from becoming radicalised”, they continued. The EU has set in place a coherent, consistent and comprehensive strategy in the fight against terrorism. “We need to implement this without delay”, Messrs Barroso and Fini concluded.
