Brussels, 26/10/2006 (Agence Europe) - Interior ministers of the six EU Member States with the biggest populations met for a G6 meeting in Stratford-upon-Avon in England on Thursday, where they agreed on a series of measures to prevent terrorist attacks. After their meeting (which started on Wednesday), the interior ministers of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland agreed to work together against websites encouraging terrorism. They decided to work to prevent new terrorist attacks by identifying threats and preparing appropriate responses, working together more closely in monitoring and analysing use of the internet by terrorist organisations and backing the German 'anti-web' plan to make the internet less permeable to terrorists, explains a press release. The ministers agreed to share information on research into explosives, particularly liquid explosives and agreed on greater funding for research. They also agreed to work on tracing explosives and an early warning system for contraband explosives. Wednesday's talks focused on terror threats and what can be done to prevent new attacks. On Thursday, the ministers also discussed ways of tackling illegal immigration and organised crime. They studied a Franco-German plan on improving cooperation over asylum and immigration to be submitted to the Justice and Home Affairs Council in December. Another plan they studied was an action plan recommending working on a common strategy to tackle people trafficking. The G6 agreed to improve readmission procedures with countries of origin and to foster dialogue with cooperation with countries in Africa. Carrousel fraud was one of the main areas of organised crime discussed at the meeting. Billions of euros are lost in carrousel fraud in the EU every year, which may help fund terror groups. The UK alone estimates that carrousel fraud totalled around 3 billion euros in the 2004-2005 financial year. (bc)
