Justice and Home Affairs

How prepared is Europe for a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack against one or more European targets? What are the threats/likelihoods of an attack? In the event of even a moderate CBRN attack in one European country how will cooperation across Europe be orchestrated? How can mutual aid between countries be further developed to support both the response and recovery phases? What are the barriers to effective integration of an emergency response across Europe? What role for the European Commission within its member states, or in relation to EU’s neighbours? What role for NATO? What lessons on macro-scale coordination can be derived from the response to recent terrorist incidents, natural disasters and industrial accidents? Does CBRN terrorism pose different challenges to CBRN accidents? Are separate response plans needed for consequence managers?
