The European Counter Terrorism Centre is Europol's "counter-terror" center, started in 2016.
Official Narrative
"EU institutions responded swiftly and strongly to the terrorist attacks of last year and moved to augment the European Union’s capacity to deal with the terrorist threat. As foreseen in the European Agenda on Security put forward by the European Commission, the establishment of the European Counter Terrorism Centre is a major strategic opportunity for the EU to make our collective efforts to fight terrorism more effective. I call on EU Member States to trust and support the European Counter Terrorism Centre to help it succeed in its important mission."[1]
Activities
The group hosts conferences of "terror experts", some of which are by invitation only.[2]
