Sharing data is seen by many as merely a first step. Sharing intelligence is also needed, some believe. [...] Nathalie Tocci, deputy director of the International Affairs Institute, a Rome-based think- tank, said such a shift would be “long overdue” but would depend on changing the habits of countries’ security services as much as the political will of their leaders. “Security services are by definition closed, suspicious and nationalistic,” she says. Ms Tocci, for example, says there is more “co-operation” between Italian intelligence and the US, Israel and Egypt than with other European countries’ security services.
