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][1] The Group was created after 9/11 to further intelligence sharing cooperation between European intelligence structures.[3] 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).[1]
