At least 52 people were killed and hundreds of others injured in the morning rush hour blasts on 7 July that hit three underground trains and a double-decker bus.
In a joint declaration on 12 July after an emergency meeting in Brussels, EU interior and justice ministers said they stood in solidarity with Britain and vowed to implement new anti-terrorism measures across the bloc.
British police are now targeting their investigation toward catching the mastermind behind the attacks, which are suspected of being carried out by British-born men of ethnic Pakistani background. Police are investigating the possibility that the four bombers died in the blasts.
Anti-terror police late on 12 July carried out a new raid in connection with the investigation, searching a residence in Aylesbury northwest of London. No arrests were reported.
