Prof Dr. Bartk6 R6bert, PhD LL.M University of Gy6'r, Dedk Ferenc Faculty ofLaw and Political Sciences Abstract According to our researches, the relationship between illegal migration and the terrorism shall be emphasized. Terrorist offences proved the vulnerability of the European States, and constitute one of the most serious violations of the human rights and fundamental freedoms on which the EU is founded. In 2014, 276.113 migrants entered the European Union irregularly, which represents an increase of 138% compared to the same period in 2013, and the mentioned data increased in the past year as well. From 2015 to nowadays the European Union experienced a massive number of casualties caused by terrorist attacks. There is no evidence to declare that all of migrants are terrorist, however, the terrorists make use of migratory flows to enter into EU. According to our oppinion, the mentioned fact is reinforced by the European statistics as well. It shall be emphasized that the phenomenon of the illegal migration is favourable to the terrorist organizations. The paper deals with mentioned connection between the irregular migration and the terrorism in the European Union, using European statistics of the European Law Enforcement Agency (EUROPOL) and criminal-political viewpoints. Dealing with legal documents and analyzing them are not aim of this paper. Keywords: Irregular migration, terrorism, terrorist attacks, EUROPOL TE-SAT, jihadist terrorism, religiously inspired terrorism. The number of migrants tried to enter into EU irregularly was increased in the past few years. The difficulties regarding to the illegal crossing of border are not dominant in the new situation made by the mass migration. Therefore, the terrorist organizations make use of the migratory flows, and the terrorists and the foreign fighters can get in to the target country very easily. It shall be emphasized thet the irregular migration means a high challenge for the EU and the Member States as well. This new political and legal atmosphere requires a strong coordinated response and cooperation within and between the Member States. Defining terrorism, and creating an overall statutory definition is a very hard task for the legislator. Many scientific theories - with the aim to respond to the current events - were created by different experts in the past few years, which tried to summarize all essential elements of terrorism'. All of Member States shall take the necessary measures to create a modern statutory definition of the terrorism, E-mail: bartkor@sze.hu.
