EU Commissioner for Migration and Internal Affairs Dimitris Avramopoulos on Tuesday stressed the need for a comprehensive approach - as the one in the European Agenda for Security - to deal with terrorism and extremism.

Avramopoulos was speaking at the High Level Ministerial Meeting on Radicalization held in Brussels.

He underlined that terrorism in Europe is ignited by extremist ideologies, noting that the situation has changed lately, as the connection between radicalization and extremist violence is obvious in Europe.

According to Avramopoulos, terrorist groups such as ISIL become more and more efficient in their propaganda and in the attraction of new members, which, as he stressed, highlights the urgent need to deal with the threat.

The creation of a European reference point of illegal content (EU Internet Referral Unit) inside Europol is expected to play an important role in tackling and preventing terror phenomena. The mission of this unit, according to Avramopoulos, will be to identify the terrorist material on the Internet and to ensure their rapid removal.
