The EU and counter-terrorism

Ever since terrorist bombs killed nearly 200 people in Madrid in March 2004, EU politicians have argued for greater European co-operation in fighting terrorism. The EU can help its member-states to hamper, capture and prosecute terrorists, but is only just starting to develop common policies. Daniel Keohane argues that the Union could and should do more to assist EU governments in preventing and responding to terrorist attacks.
