Decision on combating terrorism

This procedure aims to update the European Union's legal framework for fighting terrorism by replacing an outdated 2002 decision. It seeks to modernize the definition of terrorist offenses and improve the coordination of criminal law across member states to better address evolving threats.

This will affect law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities across the EU. It ensures that terrorist activities are criminalized consistently in all member states, making it harder for terrorists to exploit legal loopholes.
