On 7 May 2014, Eurojust hosted its Counter Terrorism Team (CTT) meeting, in its headquarters in the Hague, The Netherlands. The main topic of the meeting was UNICRI's Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) Risk Mitigation and Security Governance Programme and potential opportunities for cooperation on a number of issues of mutual concern.
The meeting was chaired by the President of Eurojust Ms Michèle Coninsx, and attended by the members of the CTT. The UNICRI was represented by the Head, CBRN and Security Governance Programme Mr Francesco Marelli, and Senior Strategy and Policy Advisor, Mr Irakli Beridze.
Both organisations presented their activities in accordance to their mandates in the area of CBRN and security, and identified cross-cutting issues and relevant areas for further cooperation.
