Currently, it is unclear who is in charge of EU-anti-terrorism policy for example, and there is still a disproportional degree of utilisation of security systems set in place by the EU, such as the Schengen Information System II. Countries in the EU have made strides to lessen the policy gap by making recruiting, training and participating in terrorist groups punishable by law. However, there still remains much to be done.
