Proposal of Europol for the New TE-SAT
1.
Introduction
According to the ENFOPOL 41 REV 2 (8466/2/01), the Terrorism Situation and Trend
Report (TE-SAT) is intended to inform the European Parliament on the phenomenon of
terrorism in the Member States. Furthermore, the Council could take into account the TE-SAT
when developing policies on counter terrorism. The report is unclassified and does not contain
any information which, if distributed, could compromise investigations under way or the fight
against terrorism.
The Presidency is responsible for drafting the TE-SAT based on a file and analyses supplied
by Europol. To date, Europol has compiled four TE-SAT reports since the requirement for the
paper was agreed in 2001.
In the Terrorism Working Party (TWG) meeting in January 2006, Europol proposed to widen
the data collection for the TE-SAT in order to enhance the quality of the report. On 7 March
2006, Europol was asked by the TWG to develop a proposal for a new TE-SAT.
In line with the Council conclusions on intelligence-led policing and the development of the
Organised Crime Threat Assessment (OCTA) on 12 October 2005 (CRIMORG 56), the
Council is requested to task Europol to draw up the new TE-SAT.

Nature and Aim of the New TE-SAT
The new TE-SAT remains an unclassified document, which is intended to inform the
European Parliament of the phenomenon of terrorism in the EU. It will also be forwarded to
the Council and can be used to inform the public.
The ownership of the TE-SAT changes in line with the OCTA developments. The TE-SAT
becomes a Europol product. Europol is responsible for developing the methodology for the
new TE-SAT in consultation with the contributors.
The TE-SAT will not contain information which is classified, falls under data protection law
or information which could jeopardise ongoing investigations.
The data collection plan and the intelligence requirement for the new TE-SAT will be coordinated by Europol and the draft TE-SAT will be discussed with the contributors. The final
report will be agreed within Europol structures.
3.
Procedure for the New TE-SAT
In the beginning of each year Europol will draw up the TE-SAT report.
The TE-SAT will be handed over to the European Parliament and the Council by latest on 31
March.
The reporting period starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.
Member States' contributions continue to serve as the main input into the TE-SAT. Europol
will send the Intelligence Requirement to Member States and all other potential contributors
by 31 August.
Member States' contributions to the TE-SAT are expected no later than 31 January.
Other contributions for the TE-SAT report will also include, subject to the limitation on the
use of classified information set out in paragraph 2 above:
•
