Experts from Russia and the European Union will discuss technical possibilities for unifying data banks on terrorists, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov told TASS on May 25.

He said a corresponding expert working group will meet on June 3-5 in Brussels. "Experts will discuss a wide range of issues of assessing global terrorist threats, using the internet, returning foreign militant terrorists, and improving laws," he said.

The major problem as far as anti-terrorism efforts are concerned is the problem of trust as security services are not always willing to share their information, according to the Russian diplomat.

"In this context, Russia proposes to unify its national data bank on terrorists with that of Europol."

"So far, there is no political decision on that matter but expert work should begin already now," he stressed.

The minister pointed to the difference in systems, further saying that therefore technical problems need to be solved beforehand in order not to lose time after the political decision is made.
