Trying to bring all of Europe’s security forces under one roof to fight terrorism would be more trouble than it’s worth, Germany’s Interior Minister said on Sunday.
“A European counter-terror center would have to bring together 28 states with innumerable authorities… transferring the German model to Europe would hardly work,” (Thomas) de Maizière told Tagesspiegel am Sonntag.
Germany’s Public Prosecutor General Peter Frank and the German Police Union (DPolG) had previously called for the EU to copy Germany’s joint terror defense center after it emerged that European countries had not shared intelligence that could have helped stop attacks in Brussels and Paris. […]
“That would mean changing the European treaties,” he (de Mazière) explained. “Such a change costs time… we would slip into a discussion about details that would cause us to neglect cooperation and fighting terrorism.” …

Not to worry.
Once the German “anti-terror” model succeeds in importing millions of Muslims, the EU will soon be replaced by the Caliphate.
All we've seen thus far is official suppression of German citizens opposed to importation of more head choppers.
They do already have “Europol”.
And do you recall Interpol’s roots in Austria, and the NSDAP’s takeover of that organization in the Anschluss?
“That would mean changing the European treaties,” he (de Mazière) explained. “Such a change costs time… we would slip into a discussion about details that would cause us to neglect cooperation and fighting terrorism.”
Well, that’s why the terrorists will run circles around your bloated bureaucracy.
Any EU-wide anti-terror model, will only be used against “Islamophobes”, “radical right wingers”, and critics of the Establishment.
That is its real purpose.
There is something in the Treaty of Lisbon called “enhanced cooperation”, though, which does not entail all 28 countries centralizing their anti-terror efforts, but “at least nine member states”; it also encompasses the notion of a unified military among such a smaller group of nations. Don’t be surprised if such a thing progresses, especially in post-Merkel days.
Certainly the purpose of the admitted internationalist left. The voice of the less internationalist left is getting louder though.
I may have been aware of that.
NSDAP = Nazi? As in National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei? It’s a good thing that socialist worker’s parties have nothing in common with that horrendous source of evil (just ask any liberal). After eight years of Obama, who says the differences between capitalism and communism, between freedom and totalitarianism do not matter, socialist is actually cool with today’s young people. What could go wrong?
To paraphrase both Alice in Wonderland and several Soviet propagandists, “gloriouser and gloriouser”.
