EUROPEAN UNION LEGISLATIVE RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM OF TERRORISM

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author defines terrorism as the biggest threat to the security of European Union and analyzes destructive activities of terrorist organizations on the territory of Western European countries in XX century. Until recently, European Union had no legislation that clearly defined the term of terrorism, while only a small number of Member States had incomplete provisions that differed from one country to another. Therefore, European officials began to work on adoption of binding regulations for all Member States, which basically means that the problem of terrorism is now treated equally throughout the territory of the European Union. That is why the latter has won the epithet of one of the most active fighters against terrorism in XXI century by adopting documents in form of Strategies, Directives or Action Plans.
