EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report 2019

In 2018, terrorism continued to represent a major security threat in EU Member States. Horrific attacks killed thirteen people and injured many more. A stark increase in the number of arrests linked to right-wing extremism, although still relatively low, indicates that extremists of diverging orientation increasingly consider violence as a justified means of confrontation.

The level of threat from terrorism has therefore not diminished; if anything it has become more complex.
