EU details plans to block terrorist financing
2016-02-03
[Iran Press TV] The European Commission has unveiled tight new security measures to detect and block the flow of funds to terrorist cells and organizations.

The Commission, which is the executive arm of the 28-nation European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, detailed the plans at the European Parliament in the French city of Strasbourg on Tuesday.

"We have to cut off the resources that bully boyz use to carry out their heinous crimes," Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans said in a statement.

"By detecting and disrupting the financing of terrorist networks, we can reduce their ability to travel, to buy weapons and explosives, to plot attacks and to spread hate and fear online," he said.

The measures include stepping up efforts to track the sources and channels of the terrorists' funds provided by certain countries .

Daesh [Islamic State] Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
snuffies not only receive financial aid from countries such as Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
and Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
, but also make money through the illicit trade of antiques and ancient artifacts, as well as the sale of crude oil.

Saudi Arabia's rulers backed by Wahhabi holy mans have directly and indirectly funneled billions of dollars to various terrorist organizations, such as the Daesh [Islamic State], al-Qaeda, Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
, who are greatly influenced and derived by Wahhabi and Salafist teachings taught by Saudi holy mans.

The commission will put forward the new security measures for review to EU finance ministers next week.

#2  But if you confiscate the funds that could be a big windfall. But bribes go into individual pockets while confiscation goes into government coffers.

Hmm, give the officials who find the illegal terror money a finders fee. That is, make confiscation competitive with bribes.
