The European Union (EU) has certainly become an important actor in terms of counterterrorism,
especially inside Europe. Since the events of 9/11, the EU managed to
dramatically improve its counter-terrorism institutions and mechanisms. When Europe
suffered from its first big Jihadist attacks the EU accomplished to react rapidly. In
addition, the Treaty of Lisbon was truly game-changing regarding the EU capacities in
implementing more efficient counter-terrorist measures. Most importantly, the EU gained
the legal basis necessary to legitimately act in the fight against Jihadist terrorism in
Europe and outside it. Nevertheless, an analysis of official EU documents and of the
literature suggests the EU’s power over counter-terrorism policy is not as great as its
instruments suggest.
