My country, Belgium, grasped very early on the scope of the threat posed by the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters and the need to have a collective response to it. That is why my Government began to enhance exchanges among the countries most concerned in the European Union and made contact with countries outside of Europe, in particular in the Middle East, on this issue. In Belgium itself, specific preventive measures were taken, as were measures to pursue those responsible for the threat. The attack against the Jewish Museum in Brussels, as just mentioned by Mr.”
