MEETING WITH ILKKA SALMI, EU COUNTER-TERRORISM COORDINATOR

The PP MEP, Javier Zarzalejos, has held a meeting with Ilkka Salmi, EU coordinator for the fight against terrorism. Salmi is in charge of coordinating the response of the Member States to the security threats that the community bloc is currently facing.

The meeting served to analyze some of the EU’s priorities in the fight against terrorism, as well as issues related to the work being carried out in this field by the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.

After the meeting, Javier Zarzalejos stated that “the harshness of the latest attacks on European soil reminds us that the terrorist threat has never gone away” and wanted to highlight “the importance of neutralizing with appropriate measures the use of new technological tools by terrorists”.
