On 14 November, the Dutch Senate adopted two bills on counter-terrorism. The first law will give law enforcement agencies greater investigative powers such as surveillance, infiltration and wiretapping. The second law will prohibit organizations on the UN or EU terrorist lists to perform any legal acts in the Netherlands and make it a criminal offense punishable by one-year imprisonment to continue their activities.
