European counties must improve communication when it comes to the threat of terrorist attacks and introduce a single warning system to indicate threat levels, says the Dutch national anti-terrorism coordinator Tibbe Joustra in today’s Trouw newspaper.

At present countries all have their own way to determine and communicate how serious the threat of a terrorist attack is. This makes the situation complicated and it is the job of the next European Union anti-terrorism coordinator to tackle this problem, says Joutstra.
The EU anti-terrorism coordinator Gijs de Vries, a Dutchman, stepped down from the job in March and there is as yet no successor.
