Warsaw, 9 January 2025
Dear Chairs,
Within the framework provided by Article 51 of the Europol Regulation (EU) 2016/794, we are
pleased to invite you to the
16th Meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group (JPSG)
on Europol,
which will take place
on 23-24 February 2025 at the Sejm and the Senate of the
Republic of Poland in Warsaw.
The meeting will be held in person only.
The meeting will tackle a number of issues directly arising from the JPSG’s prerogatives
according to Article 51 of the Europol Regulation, including presentations by Ms Catherine
De Bolle, Europol Executive Director, Mr Ireneusz Sieńko, the Chair of the Europol Management
Board and Mr Wojciech Wiewiórowski, the European Data Protection Supervisor.
The draft agenda also includes two scrutiny sessions: the first on
Combatting drug
trafficking in Europe
and the second on
The fight against child sexual exploitation online
and offline.
Oral questions to Europol
According to Article 4.2 of the JPSG Rules of Procedure, we kindly draw your attention
to the right to address oral questions to Europol. Please find attached the Guide for Members
on JPSG Written and Oral questions, explaining the procedure for submitting questions.
In order for Europol to prepare replies in time for the meeting, members/delegations wishing
to submit oral questions are kindly requested to send them to the JPSG Co-Chairs by
Monday 10 February at the latest.
Appointment of the members of the Consultative Forum on Fundamental Rights
In accordance with the revised Rules of Procedure, on 24 June 2024 the JPSG launched
a call for expression of interest from individuals and relevant EU and national agencies and
bodies, international and intergovernmental organisations, academia and civil society
organisations to become members of Consultative Forum from 1 December 2024
to the end of the term of the 10th European Parliament in July 2029.
At its meeting of 12 November 2024 in Brussels, the JPSG decided to postpone the decision
on the appointment of members to the Consultative Forum to the next meeting and
to re-launch among members of the JPSG the call for expression of interest, re-opening
the application procedure in order to fully fill the foreseen 11-member quota.
The new deadline for submitting expressions of interest and sending the supporting
documents is 17 January 2025 (midday, 12:00h of Brussels local time).
The list of applicants will be publicly available on the JPSG pages on the IPEX
(InterParliamentary EU information eXchange) website.

Acting on a proposal of the Presidential Troika, and taking into account the broad range of
disciplines, knowledge and expertise, gender balance and, insofar as possible, geographical
distribution, the JPSG will appoint up to 11 individuals or organisations as members
of the Consultative Forum.
General aspects
We would like to recall that your Parliament/Chamber can be represented by up to four
