The Council decided on 12 September - by written procedure - to update the European Union list of terrorist organisations and persons linked to terrorist activities, which was first adopted in December 2001 in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 11 September and last updated on 27 June 2003.

This time the EU has agreed to put the Palestinian group Hamas on its list of outlawed terrorist organisations.
