EU has experienced several terrorist attacks since the 1990’s, but now today is facing terrorism on a higher problem level. Terrorism threatens the European fundamental rights that EU is based upon, when it comes to safety for human rights. Its outcome terrorism grows and evolves it becomes harder to stop and predict. Terrorism is now more than ever taking more lives and has become more violent than ever before. Citizens are depending on EU to protect them and tackle the problem, the debate whether EU is doing enough is ongoing. This study seeks to examine the measures EU is taking in the fight against terrorism and how it has evolved since the groundbreakingly terrorist attack in New York 11 September 2001 also known as the 9/11 attack. I will analyse EUs approach to terrorism and weather it is inefficient or effective. The theoretical framework that the study is based on are theories about the organization theory but also efficient the control is in EU’s counter terrorism approach. EU has taken on several measures and policies against terrorism. The result of the study shows that EUs politics against terrorism has been inefficient as countries are not collaborating when it comes to fulfilling the laws and not wanting EU to have too much power over their own politics. EU as an organization is failing due to non-effective work in the member countries.
