Tenth progress report on counterterrorism and Summary Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands 17
The report deals with the progress made in the last six months in the development and implementation of the various components of
counterterrorism policy. This concerns, successively, the combating of radicalisation, international cooperation, creating decisive instruments and
organisation, implementing security measures, being prepared for (the consequences of) a possible attack and providing information.
The threat level with respect to the Netherlands remains, as in the previous reporting period, 'substantial'. This means that there is a realistic chance of an attack in the Netherlands or against Dutch interests. However, no specific indications of plans for an attack against the Netherlands and its interests have been identified in the past reporting period. The international jihadist threat is still the most important component of the threat against the Netherlands and its interests.
