Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA on combating terrorism ('FD 2002') provided the basis for the approximation of criminal law provisions on terrorist offences. In response to evolving threats of radicalisation, recruitment and terrorism new offences of public provocation, recruitment and training for terrorism were introduced by Framework Decision 2008/919/JHA ('FD 2008'). Similar terrorism offences had already been introduced by the 2005, the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism. Also, the UN had called upon States to explore ways and means to counter incitement of terrorist acts as well as terrorism manifestations on the internet. Member States were obliged to adopt and notify implementing measures by 9 December 2010. The Commission was to draw up a report based on this information. The Council should then have assessed, by 9 December 2011, whether Member States had taken the necessary measures to comply with FD 2008. As of 1 December 2014, the Commission will have the competence to appraise Member States' compliance and to initiate infringement proceedings if necessary. |
