In a Communication, 'Towards a programme to advance European security through Research and Technology', issued on 3 February 2004, the European Commission presented the key elements for a test phase or 'Preparatory Action' on security research. The Communication explains why security research needs to be co-ordinated at the EU level. It also presents key priority areas which need to be addressed such as: protection against terrorism (including bio-terrorism); improving crisis management; and enhancing the security, reliability, protection and interoperability of communication systems, thus making it easier for civilian and military authorities across the EU to co-ordinate their actions. |
