Download or read book How is the European Union Involved in the Member States' Efforts to Fight Fraud? written by Cristian Anghel and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we present the efforts pursued by the European Union to coordinate the Member States in fighting fraud. As its own infrastructure is quite limited the European Union has developed influence over the Member States bodies responsible with fighting the phenomenon. This influence is materialized in the power to create European policies, to run its own supervisory bodies and in the power to control and evaluate how the European policies are implemented in the Member States. In order to better understand these instruments we present them in the form of a matrix with three lines and three columns. The lines of the matrix provide information about the efforts made for protecting the European Union's financial interests, fighting against counterfeiting and fighting against corruption, while the columns present legislative, institutional and administrative developments. For the legislative instruments we draft an overview of the Action Plans, Conventions, Council Decisions and Directives in force in the area concerned. In point of institutional developments we present the responsibilities of specially designed EU institutions, such are the European Anti-Fraud Office, the European Technical and Scientific Centre, the Advisory Committee for the Coordination of Fraud Prevention or the Court of Auditors of the European Communities. As far as the administrative developments are concerned we present the Fifth round of mutual evaluations - financial crime and financial investigation, carried out in all Member States by teams of experts from EU institutions and other Member States under the umbrella of the Multidisciplinary Group of the Council of the European Union for Organized Crime.

Download or read book The Fight Against Fraud on the EU's Finances written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report The Fight Against Fraud On The EU's Finances (HL 158) examines the effectiveness of the EU's system of protection from financial fraud, and identifies a number of weaknesses. EU law obliges both the European Commission and the Member States to combat fraud on the EU's finances. However, the onus to protect the EU's financial interests falls mainly on the individual Member States because they are responsible for administering 80% of the EU funds. The 404 million Euros cited by the Commission in its annual report offers only a glimpse of the levels of fraud perpetrated against the EU's budget, the Committee believes five billion Euros is a closer figure. Evidence presented to the Committee suggests that some Member States do not take their anti-fraud responsibilities seriously. Responsibilities for anti-fraud should include: (i) looking for fraud against the EU's budget; (ii) informing the relevant EU authorities

Book Synopsis Strengthening OLAF, the European Anti-Fraud Office by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. European Union Committee
Download or read book Strengthening OLAF, the European Anti-Fraud Office written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. European Union Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OLAF (the European Anti-Fraud Office) was established by the Commission in 1999, following the collapse of its predecessor UCLAF, and its role is to protect the financial interests of the EU and to fight fraud and corruption within the EU's institutions or within individual EU member states. Its efficiency and effectiveness are currently under review, and the Commission has brought forward a proposal designed to improve OLAF's operational efficiency, improve information flows and protect the rights of individuals under investigation. The Committee's report judges that this proposal is premature and unlikely to enhance OLAF's accountability or independence. It also notes that the future of OLAF has become entwined with the debate over the post of European Public Prosecutor, and that the Commission should not allow this to distract its focus from examining how OLAF can be made more effective in the fight against fraud.
Book Synopsis The European Union's Fight Against Corruption by : Patrycja Szarek Mason
Download or read book The European Union's Fight Against Corruption written by Patrycja Szarek Mason and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fight against corruption emerged as one of the most significant issues during the 2004 enlargement of the EU and gained even more importance with the accession of Romania and Bulgaria in 2007. In order to prepare candidate countries for membership, the EU found it necessary to create new institutions and mechanisms to address corruption. Patrycja Szarek-Mason traces the development of the EU anti-corruption framework, showing how recent enlargements transformed EU policy and highlighting inequities between the treatment of candidate countries and existing Member States. The experience gained during the 2004 enlargement led to a more robust anti-corruption stance during the accession of Bulgaria and Romania and will have implications for future enlargements of the EU. However, the framework can still be strengthened to address corruption adequately and promote higher standards among Member States, especially through greater use of 'soft law' in the form of mutually agreed, non-legally binding policy recommendations.
Book Synopsis Investigating European Fraud in the EU Member States by : Alessandro Bernardi
Download or read book Investigating European Fraud in the EU Member States written by Alessandro Bernardi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a detailed overview of the rules regarding criminal investigations into financial-economic criminality in the EU's main legal systems. These rules have become fundamental to the effective protection of the Union's financial interests. It undertakes a comparative study of six national legislatures (Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, the UK) which serve as paradigms of the different judicial systems existing in the Union, in order to offer a complete overview of the different approaches to financial-economic investigation in the EU. The work is further enriched with cross–sectional essays that deal with the more general issues, such as data-protection and the future of investigations in the view of the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (or EPPO). This provides a wider perspective on the themes considered. The book also examines trans-national issues, providing essential context to the EU's legislative instruments intended to protect the financial interests of the Union.
Book Synopsis Tax Crimes and Enforcement in the European Union by : Umut Turksen
Download or read book Tax Crimes and Enforcement in the European Union written by Umut Turksen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. EU member states lose hundreds of billions of euros to tax evasion every year. Tax crimes have a significant impact on the functioning of national and international economies and on the global financial system. Not only do they affect the actors involved and the state that has been deprived of tax revenues, but the citizens of those states suffer too. Tax Crimes and Enforcement in the European Union presents the findings of the EU-funded PROTAX project. Chapters written by leading experts discuss EU and national legal measures and institutional practices to counter anti-money laundering, corruption, organised crime, and tax evasion. Human factors and their role in countering tax crimes are also considered as well as whistleblower protection legislation which gives readers a rounded view of current practices within the EU. This book provides a timely and valuable comparative study of the legal and institutional background of the prosecution of tax crimes, as well as an analysis of legal measures and institutional practices to combat tax crimes on national and EU levels. It also contributes to the development of an advanced European Security Model for understanding human factors in countering tax crimes. It equips policy makers and law enforcement agencies with the dynamic toolkit they need to improve their understanding of tax crimes in the EU and provides solutions for preventing, detecting, and investigating tax crimes.

Book Synopsis Protection Financial International by : Simone White
Download or read book Protection Financial International written by Simone White and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-05-15 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of legal and political progress toward the protection of the financial interests of the European Community. Historically, progress has been uneven due to the sectoral approach adopted. On the expenditure side of the EC budget, the most regulated area remains the EAGGF-Guarantee Section Fund. By contrast, procurement fraud of the Structural Funds, sometimes involving corruption of officials, is rife in many Member States. On the income side, control of VAT rests mainly with the Member States. The near collapse of the transit system has made collection of duties more difficult, stimulating proposals for computerization of the transit system and improvements in Customs strategies. All Member States have experienced difficulties in recovering EC funds through irregularities: a case study is offered, comparing British and Danish approaches to recovery. The author also describes and evaluates more far-reaching developments and prospects. An EC penal-administrative space has been created which some penalists regard as a fore-runner to a European Criminal Legal Space. Acknowledging both the attractions and difficulties inherent in such a project, the author focuses attention back to existing First Pillar competencies for EC fraud. For example in relation to VAT and excise regimes, the organisation of Customs, and recovery of funds, deeper integration would reduce criminal opportunities. The book concludes with a review of the Amsterdam Treaty from this perspective. This book is designed for professionals, teachers, students, and researchers, especially those whose interest in EC institutions and law overlaps in the investigation of so-called `white collar crime'. However, the book should also be of interest to all those concerned with the integrity and development of the European Union in general.

Download or read book 33rd Annual Report on the Protection of the European Union's Financial Interests and the Fight Against Fraud written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU and its Member States share responsibility for protecting the EU's financial interests and fighting fraud. EU Member State authorities manage the largest share of EU expenditure and collect traditional own resources (TOR). The Commission oversees both these areas, sets standards and checks compliance. In line with Article 325(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the Commission, in cooperation with EU Member States, is obliged to submit an annual report to the European Parliament and the Council on measures taken to counter fraud and other illegal activities affecting the EU's financial interests (the PIF Report. For 2021, this report and its accompanying documents meet this obligation. The 2021 PIF Report presents: 1. an overview of the EU's financial interests, of the key legal acts adopted for their protection and the relevant jurisprudence of the Court of Justice; 2. the most significant anti-fraud developments in the EU as a whole and in Member States; 3. anti-fraud cooperation; 4. key areas for the consistent and harmonised protection of the EU's financial interests; 5. statistics and data on fraud and irregularities affecting the EU budget and their analysis; 6. an outlook for 2022, conclusions and recommendations.

Book Synopsis Fraud Against the Community:Need for European Fraud Legislation by : John Vervaele
Download or read book Fraud Against the Community:Need for European Fraud Legislation written by John Vervaele and published by Springer. This book was released on 1992 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents, for the first time, a thorough discussion of the legal aspects of combatting fraud in the Community. Based on an analysis of European and national developments, a study has been made to see whether and how European cooperation can lead to the harmonization of economic criminal law on a Community level. The First part deals with the enforcement duties of the Member States and the supervisory powers of the European Commission. It analyses the community's anti-fraud policy on the basis of the activities of the Court of Auditors, the European Parliament and the European Commission. The second part deals with the already existing legal provision in the Member States which enable penalties to be imposed in cases of fraud against the Community. The criminal law and criminal procedure codification and the special statutes in Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands, are analyzed in order to determine to what extent national penal provisions are geared to, or applicable in, combatting EEC fraud.
Book Synopsis The Institutional Architecture of EU Anti-fraud Measures by : Gianluca Sgueo
Download or read book The Institutional Architecture of EU Anti-fraud Measures written by Gianluca Sgueo and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the European Union, several institutions, agencies and other bodies (collectively referred to as 'EU authorities') are concerned with preventing and combating fraud related to the EU budget. These EU authorities, and the activities they carry out – including policy-making, monitoring and operational tasks – make up a multi-layered network in which Member States and international organisations are also included. At the domestic level, national authorities contribute by detecting, prosecuting and reporting fraudulent behaviour in the use of European Union funds to the European Commission. At the same time, a number of international organisations coordinate efforts across countries and legal systems to combat fraud. The present analysis offers an overview of this network, with a focus on the European Union institutional framework.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU law obliges both the European Commission and the Members States to combat fraud on the EU's finances. However, the onus to protect the EU's financial interests falls mainly on the individual Member States because they are responsible for administering 80% of the EU funds. The Committee has identified a number of weaknesses in the EU's anti fraud system. The 404 million euros cited by the Commission in its annual report offers only a glimpse of the levels of fraud perpetrated against the EU's budget, the Committee believes 5 euros billion is a closer figure. Also the evidence presented to the Committee suggests that some Member States do not take their anti-fraud responsibilities seriously. Responsibilities should include: (i) Looking for fraud against the EU's budget; (ii) Informing the relevant EU authorities when they find it; (iii) Acting on referrals from the EU's own anti-fraud body OLAF. The Committee were unable to ascertain whether any UK Government department or agency takes overall responsibility for this issue and how much fraud occurs. The Committee therefore recommends the establishment of a single department or agency to fight against EU fraud and quantify the problem in the UK.
