EU prepares plans to fight crime, terrorism

The 'EU Internal Security Strategy in Action' was adopted on the 22 November 2010 and comprises 41 actions targeting the most urgent security threats facing Europe. They include a shared agenda to disrupt criminal and terrorist networks, to protect citizens, businesses and societies against cybercrime, to increase EU security by smarter border management, and to strengthen the Union's readiness and response to crises.
