The European Union needs to build an effective security framework to stop criminals and terrorists from roaming freely across its internal borders. Guarding Europe analyses what the EU should do to improve its security in the face of international terrorism now that most member-states have removed the border controls between them. The September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks exposed flaws in the way the United States police and intelligence agencies operated.
