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.

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.

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 EC Fraud written by J. W. van der Hulst and published by Springer. This book was released on 1993-03-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their foundation, the European Communities have been confronted with many forms of misuse and abuse of Community funds. The exact size of this phenomenon is unknown but experts estimate that each year the EC looses up to 10 % of their budget as a consequence of various kinds of fraud. If these estimates are accurate, we are dealing with a very costly problem. To discuss the legal aspects of EC Fraud, an international conference was held in 1991 in Rotterdam (The Netherlands). Experts from all the Member States, on the juridical aspects of fraud, participated in the conference which resulted in a number of contributions in English and French which are gathered in this book. The participants were asked to write their analyses on EC Fraud using a comparative legal approach. Contributions which are important and useful for anyone who is studying the various legal systems of the Member States.
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.

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.
