EU Seeks to Ensure that Aid Does Not Reach Terrorists
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The European Parliament's annual budgetary report says the EU must "thoroughly verify" that its funds are not "allocated or linked to any cause or form of terrorism and/or religious and political radicalization." Any funds that did go to any person or organization with terrorist ties must be "proactively recovered, and recipients involved are excluded from future union funding." The EU has stipulated that aid can be sent only to organizations without ties to EU-designated terrorist groups, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
