This paper examines internal measures to protect Europeans from health threats caused by the deliberate use of disease. It evaluates activities that are carried out in the first pillar of the EU and that directly or indirectly contribute to reinforcing and managing non-proliferation in the biological field with a particular focus on Europe. The author argues that the EU has not yet found a satisfactory framework for managing bio-security risks and that further work on prevention should be a particular priority.
