About this Quote
The European Union (E.U.) is taking a proactive stance in the fight against worldwide terrorism. To this end, they have carried out common European arrest and proof warrants, which allow for the arrest of suspects in any E.U. member state. This is a major step forward in the battle versus terrorism, as it enables the quick apprehension of suspects despite their area. Furthermore, the E.U. has developed a joint scenario center to swimming pool and examine intelligence. This center will enable the sharing of details in between member states, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the terrorist hazard. By taking these steps, the E.U. is demonstrating its commitment to combating worldwide terrorism.
