EU will accelerate measures to tackle anti-terrorism

Britain on Wednesday won pledges of joint European Union action to fight terrorism, including promises to introduce a controversial system for storing data on phone calls, text messages and e-mails across the bloc. A crisis meeting of E.U. interior ministers called in the wake of last week's devastating bomb attacks in London - and chaired by British Home Secretary Charles Clarke - issued a four-page declaration vowing measures to cut-off funding for terrorists, intensify intelligence sharing and improve exchange of data on lost and stolen explosives.Note EU-Digest: probably more important than sharing data about potential terrorist threats is also looking at the causes which have created local bred religious extremists on the territory of the EU.
