Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the afternoon session of the JPSG. We're now moving to the first of our two scrutiny sessions this afternoon on enhancing Europol's cooperation with third countries to fight serious and organized crime, including the collaboration between criminal networks and hybrid threat actors. We are joined by Monsieur Jean-Philippe Lecouffe, Deputy Executive Director for Operations at Europol. Warm welcome to you. Before the presentation, I would like to recall the procedure for requesting the floor.
MPs should use the speaking cards placed at their seats, MEPs should raise their hand. The speakers list will alternate two members of national parliaments and one member of the European Parliament and please keep questions and replies to a maximum of two minutes. So, Mr. Lecouffe, we you will have 10 minutes for your initial presentation, vous avez la parole.

Well, thank you, Chair and good afternoon to everybody. Thank you for the opportunity to be with you again this afternoon. I would like to focus this presentation about the topic that you see on the screen, that is to say enhancing Europol's cooperation with third countries to fight serious and organized crime, including the collaboration between criminal networks and hybrid threat actors. I will focus on four points. First, the threat posed by organized crime, including the hybrid threats, then why cooperation with third countries is essential, how Europol makes that cooperation operational and why the legal framework, especially those allowing the exchange of personal data are critical to our success.
The threat, first, so organized crime is a security threat. Organized criminal networks undermine our economy, our institutions and public trust. They generate enormous profits, spread violence and fuel corruption. Most threatening criminal networks operate well beyond the European Union. They are active in more than 150 countries and involve over 110 nationalities.
