The European Commission presented on Tuesday 2 February in Strasbourg an Action Plan to strengthen the fight against terrorist financing. “The recent terrorist attacks in the European Union and beyond demonstrate the need for a strong coordinated European response to combatting terrorism“, said the Commission. 
 
First Vice-President Frans Timmermans said: “We have to cut off the resources that terrorists use to carry out their heinous crimes. By detecting and disrupting the financing of terrorist networks, we can reduce their ability to travel, to buy weapons and explosives, to plot attacks and to spread hate and fear online”.
