"This chapter offers an analysis of Europol\u2019s counterterrorism role. It begins with a succinct overview of the key aspects of EU\u2019s counterterrorism policy and the evolving role of Europol in the area of Justice and Home Affairs. Based on official EU documents, internal reports, and secondary sources, the remainder of the chapter dissects the contemporary counterterrorism activities of both Europol and the informal arrangements outside of the EU structure that are frequently utilized by some EU Member States. The author contends that Europol\u2019s counterterrorism role suffers from a peculiar chicken-egg dilemma. On the one hand, Europol has hitherto not been granted any supranational powers by the EU Member States and lacks trust by national law-enforcement and intelligence agencies because it does not perform any indispensable counterterrorism functions at the moment. On the other hand, the persisting lack of tangible \u201Cvalue-added\u201D in the area of counterterrorism is primarily due to Europol\u2019s limited powers and the lack of trust from the national agencies." . .
