A report produced by the European Union (EU) has called on the bloc to create a new Europe-wide spy agency to fight against sabotage and other foreign threats. Former Finnish President Sauli Niinistö submitted the report to the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Niinistö calls on the EU to create a “fully-fledged intelligence cooperation service at the EU level that can serve both the strategic and operational needs ” and adds that a network is also needed to prevent the sabotage of critical infrastructure.
