EU Improved Intelligence Sharing After Paris Attacks - White House

The European Union (EU) has improved sharing of the intelligence information among its members and with the United States following November 2015 terrorist attacks on the French capital, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a press briefing on Monday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On March 24, the European Union member states agreed to establish an expert team to ensure communication between national law enforcement and intelligence agencies to provide an effective information exchange on counter-terrorism measures.

"There has been some progress made [after Paris attacks] with regard to that intelligence sharing, but there is surely more that can and must be done," Earnest stated.

The announcement came after two suicide blasts hit Belgian capital Brussels on March 22, killing at least 31 people and injuring 300.

The Daesh extremist group, outlawed in many countries including Russia and the United States, claimed responsibility for the Brussels attacks, which came just days after Belgian police captured a suspect in the November terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.
