The European Union (EU) member states' justice and home affairs ministers are to hold an extraordinary meeting on Nov. 20 in Brussels, according to a statement issued Sunday by Luxembourg, holder of the EU presidency.

The decision to convene the meeting had been jointly taken with the French authorities.

"Confronted with barbarism and terrorism, Europe stands united with France, following the tragic events in Paris," said the statement, adding that the meeting will strengthen the European response while ensuring the follow-up of the measures taken.
