Notes to answerer

Asker: I translated it as " It is safe in Latvia today according to European understanding" at the beginning wanted to use European standards, but in the context better was "understanding" Your answer is also very good and similar to my translation.Thanks!

1 hr confidence:

Latvia has european-grade safety/security

Explanation:
european-grade по аналогии с industrial-grade: промышленного класса, т.е. надёжно и прочно

security кажется, преимущественно относится к предотвращению преступлений, safety - к предотвращению несчастных случаев и аварий
