The Terrorism Convictions Monitor (TCM) is intended to provide a regular overview of the terrorism-related developments throughout the EU area. The Monitor has been developed on the basis of the open sources information available to the CMT and methodologies such as individual case studies and comparative analysis. There is a link provided to each of the convictions and acquittals found on the EUROJUST Intranet External News and/or the Internet. In general, the TCM does not include the information exclusively provided to Eurojust by the national authorities of the EU Member States by virtue of Council Decision 671/JHA/2005 (CD 671).

Issue 6 of the TCM covers the period September-December 2009.

The general objective of the TCM is to inform and kindly invite the National Members to review and confirm the information retrieved from various open sources. The information in the current issue has already been used in the drafting of Eurojust‟s Contribution to the EU Terrorism Situation and Threat Report 2010. Therefore, the TCM 6 is distributed only for information and there is no further need to verify and confirm the data. Section II. 4. of the TCM includes some data from the EUROJUST contribution to the TE-SAT 2010 (dated 23 February 2010).

National correspondents on terrorism are still encouraged to provide CD671 information for 2010 on an ongoing basis to Eurojust.
