On 3 November, (Monday), the meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group (JPSG) on Europol will take place at the European Parliament in Brussels. Despite the end of its presidency, Poland leads the work in the Group, as Denmark – the current presidency of the Council of the European Union as of the second half of 2025 – had invoked an opt-out clause in the area of justice and home affairs.
By the decision of Speaker of the Sejm Szymon Hołownia, the members of the Sejm’s delegation to the JPSG are Konrad Frysztak, Deputy Chairman of the Administration and Internal Affairs Committee and member of the European Union Affairs Committee, who also serves as the head of the Sejm delegation, and Paweł Śliz, Chairman of the Justice and Human Rights Committee. The Senate delegation also participates in the work of the JPSG. It comprises Senator Kazimierz Michał Ujazdowski (chairman of the delegation) and Senator Grzegorz Fedorowicz.

Monday’s JPSG debate started with a meeting of the Presidency Troika. The meeting was co-chaired by: Marina Kaljurand (deputy chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs), Konrad Frysztak and Kazimierz Michał Ujazdowski. The meeting of the Presidency Troika was also attended by Demetris Demetriou, Chair of the Cypriot delegation to the JPSG and Tom Brabazon, Chair of the Irish delegation to the JPSG.
The Presidency Troika unanimously approved the agenda of its meeting without comments and discussed the agenda of the 17th JPSG meeting. The Troika representatives also discussed the suggestion to present candidates for the Consultative Forum on Fundamental Rights to the JPSG – there were no objections to the candidates presented.
Cypriot representative presented a brief update on the topics for the next JPSG meeting, which will take place on 4-5 February 2026, in Nicosia, as part of the implementation of the parliamentary dimension of the Cypriot Presidency in the Council of the European Union. D. Demetriou noted that the debate will focus on the new regulation concerning Europol, increasing the transparency of its activities and further ensuring its democratic oversight. In the context of Europol’s activities, the Cypriot Presidency will also focus on migration and asylum policy, as well as the fight against corruption as well as crime against children.
The group was also addressed by the Irish representative, as Ireland will hold the Presidency in the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2026. Tom Brabazon expressed gratitude for the invitation and reported that preparations for the Presidency were well underway.
It was also mentioned that a number of questions had been received by the Presidency Troika and would be addressed during the Group’s plenary session.
First day of the meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group (JPSG) on Europol
Immediately after the meeting of the Presidency Troika has ended, the plenary session of the JPSG meeting began, co-chaired by: Javier Zarzalejos, Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Marina Kaljurand, Konrad Frysztak and Kazimierz Michał Ujazdowski.
Chair Kaljurand presented a summary of the Presidency Troika meeting. She reported that the Troika had unanimously approved the draft agenda of the 17th JPSG meeting, as well as candidates for the Consultative Forum on Fundamental Rights. The Troika also listened to the report concerning the upcoming Cyprus Presidency and the JPSG meeting, which will be held in Nicosia on 4-5 February 2026, and will be preceded by a Troika meeting. She also informed the attendees of the oral questions to the JPSG on Europol, which would be asked during the meeting.
She also presented the report from the meeting with the Europol Management Board held in Warsaw on 25-26 June. The report was uploaded to the IPEX platform. She also noted that the next meeting with the Europol Management Board would take place on 9-10 December in Copenhagen.
She has also shared information concerning the 10 candidates endorsed by the Presidency Troika for the Consultative Forum on Fundamental Rights, and noted that all delegations had received their resumes and cover letters.

Information on Europol’s activities from February to November 2025
Catherine De Bolle, Executive Director of Europol, and Ireneusz Sieńko, Chairman of the Europol Management Board, presented information on Europol’s activities from February to November 2025, as well as information on draft 2026-2028 Multiannual Europol Programming Document, along with responses to delegations’ written questions.
Executive Director Catherine De Bolle provided a comprehensive overview of the agency’s activities, recent achievements and future plans. At the beginning of her speech, she congratulated the participants for choosing the members of the Consultative Forum on Fundamental Rights, which – according to her – would be an important tool supporting the work of the JPSG.
She then discussed the political agreement reached in October concerning the revision of Europol’s mandate in order to strengthen measures against migrant trafficking. The amended legislation provides for an improved exchange of information, especially with liaison officers in third countries, and for the European Migrant Smuggling Centre to become a permanent structure within Europol. The violations of EU financial sanctions have been added to the catalogue of crimes pursued by the agency. She then pointed out that the new powers go hand in hand with expanding the agency’s resources – 30 new FTEs and additional funding of €50 million until 2027.
Director De Bolle also outlined Europol’s work on strategic documents. The agency is finalising its programming for 2026-2028 and working on an action plan for 2027-2029. She noted that Delivering Security in Partnership, a policy focused on security through cooperation, remains a priority for Europol. Europol is implementing a new strategy of cooperation with the private sector and, as part of its so-called innovation sandbox, it is developing tools to support operational analysis and combat new technological threats.
Catherine De Bolle devoted a significant part of her speech to data protection and cooperation with the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). Europol has already implemented half of the 19 recommendations resulting from the recent audit and the agency is now taking further steps to bring its processes fully in line with data protection requirements. The agency has modified its approach to joint operational analysis in line with EDPS guidelines and has launched its first project that uses personal data for research and innovation, including sound filtering. Europol is also actively supporting the implementation of the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act.
She also pointed out that the agency is focused on strengthening international cooperation, especially with the European Union’s neighbouring countries – the Schengen states, the Western Balkans, the United Kingdom and the Eastern Partnership countries. Support for Ukraine remains one of the priorities for Europol. In 2025, new working agreements have been signed with Egypt and Jordan, and in Latin America, data sharing agreements have been concluded with Brazil and Ecuador; negotiations are also underway with Peru and Mexico.
Later in her speech, Catherine De Bolle discussed the findings of the SOCTA 2025 report, which outlines the evolution of organised crime in Europe. As she pointed out, this issue is not going away, as crime is becoming increasingly digital, flexible and has a stronger destabilising impact on societies. In response, Europol created the GRIMM Operational Task Force, focused on combating contracted violence and the recruitment of youth by organised crime.
She also discussed migrant smuggling, which remains a dynamic and changing issue. Criminals adapt their methods to evade law enforcement and document forgery remains a crucial part of their activities. Europol supports states by sending its officers and developing the Digit Next platform to facilitate information exchange.
With regard to cybercrime, Director De Bolle presented the results of the Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment 2025 report, which describes the mechanisms for trafficking and exploitation of stolen data online. She highlighted numerous operational successes, including the takedown of the pro-Russian NoName057 hacking group, the takedown of Kidflix, one of the largest illegal pornography platforms, and the success in the fight with Lumma Stealer malware.
She also brought up terrorist threats, which, as she pointed out, become increasingly complex as a result of geopolitical instability and increasing social polarisation. She noed the growing activity of extremist groups online, including on gaming and streaming platforms, where young people are being radicalised. Europol has stepped up its Terrorist Identification Task Force activities, leading to thousands of reports and the removal of extremist content.
At the end of her speech, Catherine De Bolle pointed out that the coming years will be crucial in shaping the future of the European security architecture. The European Commission is planning a comprehensive revision of Europol’s mandate, covering issues such as data access and encryption. A significant increase in the agency’s funding – up to €3 billion – is planned for the new 2028-2034 budget perspective. She pointed out that the national parliaments and the European Parliament play a key role in supporting Europol so that the agency can effectively protect the security of the EU, while striking a balance between the effectiveness of its actions and the protection of citizens’ rights.
Ireneusz Sieńko, Chairman of the Europol Management Board, presented the second activity report of the Board this year. He began by highlighting the symbolic importance of the venue – the seat of the European Parliament, the beating heart of democracy in the European Union – and pointed out that the Board had held three ordinary meetings since February: in March, June and October. He also thanked JPSG member Kazimierz Michał Ujazdowski for his contribution to the debate on the future of Europol and the preparation of a precise written report.
In his speech, Ireneusz Sieńko focused on the five main areas of activity of the Europol Management Board. He started by discussing the agency’s consolidated annual activity report for 2024, which was approved in June. The report was assessed positively – Europol met the highest compliance and data protection standards in all areas of its operations, making efficient use of resources and achieving high executive performance indicators. The Fundamental Rights Officer’s report confirmed the agency’s strong commitment to respecting human rights. Despite the challenging geopolitical context and changing crime landscape, Europol has been effective in supporting national law enforcement agencies, exceeding operational targets. Sieńko also pointed to the growing role of the European Centre for Financial and Economic Affairs, particularly in the context of cooperation with the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and within the EU’s anti-fraud architecture.
The second important point raised by Sieńko was increasing the transparency of the Board’s activities. In June, a decision was made to publish more detailed summaries of Board meetings, respecting confidentiality principles where necessary. As he emphasised, this is a step towards greater accountability of Europol towards citizens. This decision was a response to the growing interest of the general public in the Agency’s activities and the recommendations of the European Ombudsman. The first summary in the new format concerning the June meeting has already been published on the Europol website. Sieńko pointed out that the Board appreciated the role of the JPSG in strengthening democratic oversight of Europol’s activities.
The third point of his speech concerned operational decisions. The Board adopted a strategy for cooperation with the private sector and a revised executive decision on joint operational analyses. Both documents were produced after extensive consultations with national and EU authorities. The strategy is intended to strengthen Europol’s cooperation with private actors in order to support national authorities more effectively, while the revised decision defines responsibility for the processing of personal data in joint analyses. He also stated that Europol is ready to take advantage of the Entry/Exit System (EES) as soon as it is operational, which will enhance the interoperability of EU security systems and improve information exchange.
The fourth issue raised concerned extended international cooperation. The Board approved working agreements with Argentina, as well as with the Atalanta EU naval mission and with the European Commission on early warning and forecasting of migration situations. As he pointed out, these initiatives enhance Europol’s operational capabilities, strengthen inter-institutional cooperation and enable a more effective response to cross-border threats.
The fifth item concerned the future of Europol. Sieńko recalled the so-called Krakow Declaration, signed in April 2025 by European chiefs of police forces, which is a starting point for further reflection on the development of the agency. He pointed out that the future of Europol requires investment in innovation, the development of digital technologies and the strengthening of forensic laboratories and analytical capabilities. It is also crucial for the agency to strengthen cooperation between EU agencies and institutions on the basis of a cohesive, long-term strategic vision.
Concluding his statement, Ireneusz Sieńko announced the last meeting of the Europol Management Board this year, which will take place on 9-10 December in Copenhagen, at the initiative of the Danish Presidency. It will concern the agency’s budget, programming for 2026-2028 and initial plans for the 2027-2029 period. He expressed confidence in the support of the JPSG as well as national and European parliaments in providing adequate and stable funding for Europol. Only this will allow the agency to effectively carry out its mission and ensure the security of the citizens of the European Union in the years to come.
Deputy Paweł Śliz took part in the debate of the members of parliaments. In his statement, he highlighted the recent change of the decision of the Management Board, which was mentioned by Chairman Ireneusz Sieńko, enabling joint analyses to be carried out by Europol and analysts of the competent authorities of EU Member States, the Joint Operational Analysis instrument. He also asked the question about the specific data processing roles and obligations that Europol and the participating EU Member States will share, according to the revised decision of the Management Board
The 17th meeting of the JPSG on Europol will continue on 4 November. The regular topics raised during these conferences include the future of Europol, personal data protection, Europol’s activities related to the war in Ukraine, and safeguarding fundamental rights. The meeting will also feature two follow-up debates on lawful access to data for law enforcement purposes, as well as on the issue of organised environmental crime, including the illegal trade in waste and protected species.
