What does European resolve about terrorism actually mean?

Today, March 11, 2013, the European Union commemorates the 9th European Day in Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism.

This ought to surprise us given that a Bulgarian court found last month that it was Hezbollah that stood behind the terrorist attack last summer on a tourist bus full of Israelis, killing five of them and their driver.

Mr de Kerchove knows this. But despite his public call today never to weaken or to falter "even for a day" in the battle to defeat terrorism, he doesn't actually seem to mean the Hezbollah brand of terrorism, but other terrorisms. (Truthfully, we're not completely sure which, but it seems he is).

Here is how he expressed it in a January 28, 2013 interview ("EU official: Hezbollah unlikely to get on terrorism blacklist") with EU Observer when asked if Europe should go along with the requests of the United States and Israel to make it illegal, for instance, to give donation money to Hezbollah:
