Speaker 2
Well dear colleagues, please take your seats, so we can start the 19th meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group. Dear co-chair, dear members of the Troika, dear members of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group, dear ladies and gentlemen, dear guests, it is my honour to welcome you all to the 19th meeting of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group on Europol, in Brussels, which is co-chaired by the Irish Oireachtas. How was that? Yeah, good. And the European Parliament.
We have 62 members registered to participate today from 29 chambers and 22 member states. We also welcome two members of the Parliament of Norway, the Stortinget, that participate in this meeting as observers. The speech to text automatic transcription and translation is available today for accessibility purposes. If you wish to do so, you may scan the QR code and choose your preferred language from the available options in the menu. I am very much looking forward to our discussions as we continue our parliamentary scrutiny on Europol's work.
We meet at a decisive moment. The ongoing revision of the Europol Regulation is likely to profoundly transform the agency's mandate, and our joint scrutiny, both at national level and at EU level, has never been more relevant. Last month, I led a LIBE delegation to Europol in The Hague. I have returned convinced that a stronger Europol must go hand-in-hand with adequate resources, robust safeguards for fundamental rights and effective democratic oversight, which is precisely the task of this group. So before we begin, I would like to warmly welcome my Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group co-chair Mr Matt Carthy, Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, and to pass the floor to him.
