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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2011 was a year of change for OLAF, the European Anti-Fraud Office. An internal review highlighted a number of areas where the efficiency of the Office could be improved. As a result, decisions were taken on changes to the organisation and on a new set of investigative procedures. The changes took effect on 1 February 2012. In 2011, OLAF received 1 046 incoming information items, three quarters of which came from private sources. One in five completed selections resulted in an investigation or coordination case. Out of the 178 cases opened, 144 were investigations. At the end of 2011, OLAF had 463 ongoing investigations and coordination cases. During the year, OLAF closed 208 cases. In order to improve the efficiency of the investigative activities the Office focused on the closing of old cases, and fewer new cases were opened in 2011 than in previous years. This resulted in an improved clearance rate and an increase in the average age of investigation and coordination cases. In more than half of all cases closed in 2011, recommendations were made by OLAF for action to be taken by EU institutions, bodies, offices, agencies or competent authorities of the Member States concerned. OLAF mainly recommended judicial action and financial recoveries. OLAF's investigations and coordination cases led to the recovery of EUR 691.4 million, as recorded in 2011. Member State courts issued a cumulative 511 years of prison sentences in 2011, acting upon conclusions and recommendations from OLAF investigations. OLAF has a key role in the Commission-wide effort to combat cigarette smuggling along the EU’s eastern border. OLAF has deployed its investigative, policy and technical assistance tools for this purpose. OLAF coordinates the implementation of the Commission’s anti-fraud strategy, adopted in June 2011. In 2011, OLAF had at its disposal a budget of EUR 23.5 million to provide financial support in order to fight fraud and corruption affecting the financial interests of the EU, to improve cooperation with partners, to measure the costs of corruption in public procurement and to strengthen the protection of Euro banknotes and coins. --
Book Synopsis OLAF at the Crossroads by : Constantin Stefanou
Download or read book OLAF at the Crossroads written by Constantin Stefanou and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors offer many insights into the regulatory, operational and institutional opportunities and challenges for OLAF, the European Commission's Anti-Fraud Office. Since OLAF was set up in 1999, significant changes in its functional environment have taken place including in EU criminal law and especially in mutual assistance and substantive criminal law; the reconstruction of Eurojust and Europol through recent Regulations and Memoranda of Cooperation; and the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.The authors advance the view that OLAF's current legal framework must address these issues adequately.The approach they take is multi-disciplinary. OLAF is examined here through the prisms of EU politics and national, European and (to some extent) comparative law, focusing not only on the identification of current problems in regulation and procedure but also on its positioning within the context of European integration. Operational issues are then extensively discussed, making this a book for practitioners as well as policy makers and academics.The book addresses the theoretical and practical aspects of anti-fraud actions within both criminal and civil aspects of public law. Although OLAF works within an incomplete EU legal framework and with varying cooperation by national authorities, its staff have devised mechanisms that address some of these issues. Nevertheless, rules covering procedural and operational issues will need to be safeguarded within future legislation.

Download or read book The OLAF Report 2013 written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) received the highest amount of incoming information since its creation: 1294 items. This reflects the con - tinued commitment of EU citizens, EU institutions and other partners to reporting suspected cases of fraud and also shows sustained confidence in OLAF. The selection of cases in OLAF lasted on average 1.8 months in 2013. OLAF succeeded in keeping the selection phase short despite the higher volume of incoming information. In 2012 and 2013, OLAF opened more investigations than in the preceding years (431 and 253 respectively), marking a new record high in a decade. The average duration of investigations in 2013 remained low at 21.8 months (23.6 months in 2012). The results of the last two years mark a clear improvement compared to previous years. This demonstrates the priority given by OLAF to improving the efficiency of its investigations and to reducing the overall duration of its cases. In 2013, OLAF issued 353 recommendations for action to be taken by the relevant EU institutions, bodies, offices, agencies or competent authorities of the Member States. This is an unprecedented high number since 2006, and a substantial increase (+77 %) compared to 2012. On 1 October 2013, Regulation No 883/2013 on investigations by OLAF entered into force. It brought significant changes to the work of OLAF and to its relations with various stakeholders. The Regulation further defines the rights of persons concerned, introduces an annual exchange of views between OLAF and the EU institutions and requires that each Member State designate an Anti-Fraud Coordination Service. OLAF's Director-General adopted new Guidelines on Investigation Procedures for OLAF staff which entered into force on the same day as the OLAF Regulation. OLAF and its Supervisory Committee have agreed on new Working Arrangements following the entry into force of Regulation No 883/2013. These Arrangements notably cover the modalities of how OLAF shares information with its Supervisory Committee. During 2013, OLAF has contributed greatly to the Commission's efforts to fight against cigarette smuggling. It will continue to consider this as a priority area. OLAF contributed to the adoption by the Commission of a proposal for establishing a European Public Prosecutor's Office responsible for investigating and prosecuting offences of fraud affecting the EU.
