oversight on Europol by holding discussions with representatives of the
management of Europol and the European Data Protection Supervisor. Among
the thematic highlights of the agenda will be the cooperation with the Western
Balkan countries, cybersecurity, and the fight against terrorism and organized
crime. Pursuant to Article 51 paragraph 2 point c) of the Europol Regulation, a
first exchange of views on the future 2020-2022 Europol Multi-annual Work
Programme will also take place.
Please, kindly note that your Parliament can be represented by up to four
members in the JPSG. You are kindly required to register following the procedure
