The report built on existing research and analyses that have been conducted on NPO regulatory issues, identifies ongoing initiatives and the most recent common trends and provides recommendations relating to potential EU- level counter-terrorism actions. It also provides an overall assessment of the extent to which NPO-related recommendations by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and EU are reflected in initiatives. The study helps assess the level of concern, perceived need for action and potential for success by the national governments and NPOs, as well as the EU relating to these issues.
ECNL produced the research study under a service contract by the European Commission Directorate-General of Justice, Freedom and Security.
