EU security measures up for debate in wake of Paris attacks

France and Belgium will urge their European partners on Friday to tighten gun laws, toughen border security and choke off funds to extremist groups, a week after at least 129 people were killed in attacks in Paris.

But at an emergency meeting in Brussels, European Union interior and justice ministers are not set to agree on any new measures that could be immediately introduced to restore calm among countries rattled by the co-ordinated strikes in the French capital.
