Produktbeschreibung

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
