The 2017 EU Action Plan to enhance preparedness against Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) security risks aims to enhance the ability of the Member States and the European Union as a whole to manage the CBRN threat.ĮU countries share their best practices, train together and develop common capabilities. There is a need for vigilance in this area, as these are typical cases of “low probability, high impact” threats.
Although there have not been any major CBRN terrorist attacks in the EU so far, the CBRN threat needs to be taken seriously because of the harm these materials can cause.
