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 410 0$aStudies in international and comparative criminal law ;$vv. 7. 606 $2Criminal law & procedure 606 $aFinance, Public$zEuropean Union countries$xAuditing 606 $aFraud$zEuropean Union countries 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xAppropriations and expenditures$xState supervision 615 0$aFinance, Public$xAuditing. 615 0$aFraud 676 $a345.40263 686 $aPH 6134$2rvk 700 $aStefanou$b Constantin$f1961-$0263017 702 $aWhite$b Simone 702 $aXanthaki$b Helen 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778812203321 996 $aOLAF at the crossroads$93822547 997 $aUNINA
