Title: European Counterterrorist Efforts Since September 11: Political Will and Diverse Responses
Authors: Paul E. Gallis, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: The attacks of September 11 prompted the Bush Administration to improve law enforcement and other coordination between the United States and European governments dealing with international terrorism. European governments have also taken measures to enhance cooperation among themselves. Most notable are European Union efforts to enhance cross-border sharing of intelligence and policy information, extend the reach of warrants, and strengthen external border controls. There are concerns in Europe that the United States is using the war against terrorism to pursue broader and more controversial foreign policy goals.
