A MESSAGE FROM AMBASSADOR JOÃO VALE DE ALMEIDAHEAD OF DELEGATION
Delegation of the European Union to the United States
Ten years ago on September 11, I was at a business lunch in Brussels, when my family alerted me to the unfolding tragedy in the United States. I watched live as the second plane crashed into the World Trade Center’s south tower.
Following several days of shock and consternation as well as serious reflection, the European institutions determined the best way to respond to this new kind of threat to our freedom and security.
In the wake of that terrible tragedy, the European Union and the United States have worked closely together to prevent terrorist attacks, protect our citizens, and pursue and bring to justice those who are responsible for such heinous deeds. You can learn more about this cooperation in the current issue of EU Insight.
João Vale de Almeida
