of Europe on Global Action on Cybercrime. Tunisia has also been invited to accede to the Budapest Convention. Morocco and Tunisia have furthermore acceded to the Data Protection Convention 108 of the Council of Europe. Applying a phased approach, Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia would be considered priority countries which may benefit from the full range of support under the present project, while cooperation with other countries would focus on the strengthening of legislation and rule of law conditions for cybercrime and electronic evidence followed by gradual involvement – if feasible – in other activities. Morocco was a priority country under GLACY (2013-2016) and is a priority and hub country under the GLACY+ project (2016 – 2024). Under GLACY, the feasibility of capacity building activities on cybercrime legislation, training of judges on cybercrime and electronic evidence, law enforcement training, and public/private and international cooperation has already been demonstrated. The tools and materials applied there could be adapted for use in other countries of this region. It is proposed that Morocco will not only participate in the CyberSouth project but will continue to participate in GLACY+. Morocco would thus serve as a link between the two projects and help share new tools and practices developed under GLACY+ with the countries participating in CyberSouth. Furthermore, the project will benefit from the experience of joint EU/Council of Europe projects in the Eastern Partnership region (Cybercrime@EAP) and in South-Eastern Europe (iPROCEEDS under the Instrument of Pre-Accession) which are aimed at public/private cooperation and on the confiscation of proceeds from online crime. 2
