The Club de Berne is an intelligence sharing forum between the intelligence services of the 28 states of the European Union (EU), Norway and Switzerland, named after the city of Bern and founded by Fedricio Umberto D'Amato.[1] It is an institution based on voluntary exchange of secrets, experience and views as well as discussing problems.[2][3] The Club has existed since 1971[citation needed] and has no secretariat and takes no decisions.[citation needed]
Official narrative
As of July 2016, Wikipedia had a page for this group, though lacking material from commercially-controlled media it was very sparse.[4] The intelligence agencies themselves have tended not to publicise it in recent years, and have not maintained old pages about it.
Counter Terrorist Group
The Counter Terrorist Group (CTG) is an offshoot of the Club and shares terrorism intelligence. It provides threat assessments to EU policy makers and provides a form for expert collaboration.[2][3] The Group was created after 9/11 to further intelligence sharing cooperation between European intelligence structures.[5] CTG, like the Club, is outside of the EU's institutions but communicates with them via the participation of the EU Intelligence Analysis Centre (EU INTCEN) (a branch of the European External Action Service).[3]
