One of many determinants that infl uenced tightening of this policy were the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA on 11 September 2001. Also, frequent terrorist attacks forced the European Union member states constant cooperation and continued eff orts regarding actions to counter terrorism which is both social and political phenomenon.
