The European Borders Agency in Warsaw has been created to help border forces in Europe cooperate more.
From Gijs de Vries
In intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential.
You can't get closer to the heart of national sovereignty than national security and intelligence services.
I have never come across a technology that doesn't change. This is inevitable. You have to adapt your systems as technology develops.
Police forces collect information to be used in a public court to get people convicted. Security services gather information that does not necessarily lead to people being prosecuted and in many cases needs to remain confidential.
We still lack a global definition of terrorism.
We're still stymied by the old stand-off between those who wish to fight terrorism and resistance fighters.
Indiscriminate attacks on civilians ought, under all circumstances, to be illegal in war as in peacetime.
Europe has a long and tragic history of mostly domestic terrorism.
We are familiar with terrorism. But indiscriminate, cross-border, religiously motivated terrorism is new.
