Seven people were killed by terrorists within the 28-nation bloc last year, including two during 35 attacks in Britain. 
In their annual report on terrorism the European Law Enforcement Agency said that in the wake of the civil war in Syria, “the threat to the EU is likely to increase exponentially.”
The report highlighted the case of soldier Lee Rigby who was hacked to death by two Al-Qaeda-inspired militants.
Michael Adebolajo was sentenced at the Old Bailey in February alongside Michael Adebowale – who was jailed for life with a minimum term of 45 years.
The pair were sentenced by Mr Justice Sweeney for butchering the 25-year-old father of one in broad daylight near Woolwich Barracks in south east London on May 22 last year.
Heartbroken relatives of Fusilier Rigby said "'justice has been served" after Adebolajo was given the whole-life term, which condemns him to die behind bars.

Also listed was the case of 25-year-old Pavlo Lapshyn, who stabbed to death pensioner Mohammed Saleem as he walked home from a mosque in 2013.
The Ukrainian told police he was motivated by hatred of non-whites and detonated home-made bombs outside three mosques.
No one was injured during the blasts in Walsall, Wolverhamptom and Tipton and police said it was a miracle that nobody was hurt.
The report is compiled annually based on statistics from EU member state police forces.
A total of 152 terrorist attacks occurred in five EU Member States.
The majority took place in France 63, with 33 in Spain and then 35 in Britain.
After an increase in 2012, the number of terrorist attacks in 2013 fell below the number recorded in 2011.
The report attributed the majority of attacks to separatist terrorism, while the number of attacks related to left-wing and anarchist terrorism rose in 2013.
In 2013, 535 arrests were made in relation to terror offences.
Most of the arrests occurred in France, with 225, Spain, 90, and the UK, 77.
In 2013 the number of arrests increased for preparation and execution of attacks; financing of terrorism; and travelling, facilitating travel or sending fighters to conflict zones, especially Syria.
In previous years, arrests had been predominantly related to membership of a terrorist organisation.
