Dear Chair,
In the framework provided by Article 51 of the Europol regulation EU(2016)0794, we are
pleased to invite you to the
Ninth Meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group on
Europol,
which will take place on

Due to the measures related to the Covid-19 pandemic, exceptionally the meeting will take
place by remote participation.
The meeting will tackle a number of concrete issues directly arising from the JPSG prerogatives
according to Article 51 of the Europol Regulation, including a presentation by Ms Catherine
DE BOLLE, Europol Executive Director, as well as a keynote speech by Mr Ales HOJS,
Minister of Interior and (TBC) Ms Ylva JOHANSSON, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs.
The thematic debates will be organised on
cybercrime in the EU, with a focus on online child
abuse and the cooperation with third countries, including private persons and NGOs,
and on
financial crime and corruption - protection of the EU financial interest.
Please find attached
the draft agenda of the meeting.
Written questions
According to Article 4.2 of the JPSG Rules of Procedure, we kindly draw your attention to the
right to address oral and written questions to Europol. Usually there is a six weeks deadline in
order to prepare replies to written question, but this time Europol kindly agreed to deliver their
answers within five weeks, therefore we would like to ask you to
submit your written

This will allow for the
replies to be available in time for the Ninth JPSG meeting.
