The fifth Steering Committee meeting of the EU-funded CyberSouth project was held online on 10 December 2020, with the participation of the main stakeholders from the priority countries Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia and the project partners from Romanian and French National Police forces.

The meeting was the occasion to review the progress made within the project for the period of June-December 2020 and to validate the next project’s work plan. During the assessed period, 29 activities have been implemented, for the benefit of the priority countries’ criminal justice authorities, focusing mostly on cybercrime legislation reinforcement, capacities development for the specialised units dealing with cybercrime and e-evidence, judicial training mainstreaming and the enhancement of international cooperation.

The priority countries expressed their views on the activities’ value and extended their commitment for the project’s future implementation. The next CyberSouth Steering Committee meeting will take place in June 2021.

CyberSouth is a joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe. It contributes to the prevention and control of cybercrime and other offences involving electronic evidence in the region of the Southern Neighbourhood, in line with international human rights and rule of law standards and good practices.
