Europe
EU to appoint anti-terror ’tsar’
2004-03-19
Concern over European security is high after the Madrid bombings
European Union ministers have agreed to appoint a single official to co-ordinate the anti-terrorism work of member states.
I say promote the Fisheries Minister. If he can apply his anti-fish policy to terrorists, the war will be won in double quick time. (Although we would lose the joke about his name).
They have also asked the EU’s foreign policy and security chief, Javier Solana, to draw up proposals on how to improve the sharing of intelligence.
Not telling the French, for one.
However, a proposal to create an EU-wide intelligence agency was rejected.
because it would involve the French
This seems to be the new European way of combatting terrorism - hit them with what Europe excels at: bureaucracy.
