EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report

Abstract

The European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report, better known as the TE-SAT, aims to provide law enforcement officials, policymakers and the general public with a fact-based understanding with regard to terrorism in the European Union (EU). In addition to the presentation of facts, it seeks to identify trends in the development of this phenomenon. The TE-SAT is a public report produced annually by Europol on the basis of information provided and verified by the competent lawenforcement authorities in the member states of the EU. In this respect, it is an awareness and reference document for anyone interested in the development of terrorism and related phenomena in the EU. The TE-SAT reports are available on the Internet at Europol’s website (http://www.europol.europa.eu).
