摘要2001年9月11日美国遭受恐怖袭击后，欧盟在几条战线上采取行动，以加强其现有的和新生的打击恐怖主义的能力。欧洲理事会通过了一项全面的行动计划，并就一些重要的反恐举措达成了政治协议，包括实行欧洲逮捕令；加强欧洲刑警组织和欧洲司法机构；起草欧盟对恐怖主义的共同定义；以及冻结恐怖分子的资金。本文对所有这些措施进行了批判性分析，揭示了欧盟反恐政策在执行上存在缺陷，这在很大程度上是由于在司法和内政领域缺乏真正的支持一体化的思维。2004年3月11日马德里恐怖袭击事件为增强欧盟反恐能力提供了新的动力，但仍需克服一系列政治、法律和文化挑战，使欧盟反恐政策更多地成为有效的反恐手段，而不是纸老虎。
ABSTRACT Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the European Union has acted on several fronts to reinforce its existing and nascent capabilities to combat terrorism. The European Council adopted a comprehensive Plan of Action and reached political agreement on a number of important counterterrorism initiatives, including the introduction of a European Arrest Warrant; strengthening of Europol and Eurojust; the drafting of a common EU definition of terrorism; and freezing of terrorist finances. This article provides a critical analysis of all these measures and reveals that the EU counterterrorism policy suffers from an implementation deficit, in large part due to the absence of genuine pro-integration thinking in the area of Justice and Home Affairs. The March 11, 2004 terrorist attacks in Madrid provided fresh impetus for enhancing the EU counterterrorism capabilities but a multitude of political, legal, and cultural challenges still need to be overcome in order to make the EU counterterrorism policy less of a paper tiger and more of an effective counterterrorism device.
