Commissioner King: EU can make a difference in fight against terrorism.

European security union Commissioner Sir Julian King has told MEPs that more needs to be done to "squeeze the space" in which terrorists and criminals operate.

Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, the British official also said he supports strengthening EU agencies and enforcement of EU anti-terror policies by member states.

King, who was addressing the committee on civil liberties, justice and home affairs, said the response to the Paris and Brussels attacks was being used as a "model" for any future terrorists atrocities.

He said, "In future, whenever an attack happens, victims must be able to receive immediate and targeted help. This will mark a step change in ensuring that those most affected are dealt with."
