In response to growing threat of terrorist attack the EU developed in 2005 a holistic counter-terrorism response – the EU Counter-Terrorism Strategy. This strategy includes strengthening CBRNe security. The activites of the EU in this field resulted among many in the development of following documents:
- Communication on strengthening CBRN security in the EU (2009)
- The EU CBRN Action Plan (2009)
- 2012 Progress Report on the Implementation of the EU CBRN Action Plan
- Draft Council conclusions started a discussion on the new CBRNE Agenda (2012)
- European CBRNE Glossary

- The EU CBRN Action Plan (2017)
- 2018 Workshop – EU preparedness against CBRN weapons – Report
- rescEU capacities in the area of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents (2021)
