Enhanced international cooperation is needed to combat and solve the problem. In this context NATO and the Euro Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) play an important role. A framework for this is the Partnership Action Plan against Terrorism. On 18-19 September 2003, the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI) on behalf of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs organized an EAPC seminar on new approaches needed for protection of forces and civilians. The seminar focused on exchange of experiences of NBC-protection and the risk of NBC-terrorist attacks during peace support operations. The aim of the EAPC seminar was to increase political awareness of the problem, to strengthen the network of experts and reinforce the cooperation between NATO, partners and international organizations in this particular area. These goals coincide with the general trend to strengthen the response to weapons of mass destruction. 收起
