"This article mainly looks at the institutional set up of the Council in the II and III pillar policy setting and concentrates less on the set up in the I pillar. Moreover, due to the limits on the length of this article, it does not encompass an analysis of the institutional set up at the Member States level, where national positions for the EU counter-terrorism policy setting are prepared, as that differs considerably between Member States and would require longer research" (Quoted from paper)
