The mission of OLAF (Office Européen de Lutte Antifraude) is to fight fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities that affect the financial interests of the European Union. To this end, OLAF carries out administrative investigations, in which it gathers evidence itself, and coordination cases, in which it coordinates the Member States? investigations. OLAF?s investigation and coordination efforts are conceived of as mere derivatives of other more traditional forms of law enforcement cooperation in which authorities enter into obligations to cooperate with one another, but in which each acts to fulfill these obligations within its own separately identifiable legal order and on the basis of its own law. This system, in its most conventional form, is founded on the notion of territorial sovereignty. If we extend the logic of this approach from enforcement (the ?sword?) to fundamental rights (the ?shield?), issues in relation to the latter ? and the accompanying responsibility to prevent and/or remedy them ? can arise only in individual (sovereign) legal orders. The way in which we view OLAF, as an evolved cognate of traditional forms of law enforcement cooperation, therefore directly dictates which fundamental rights issues enter into the equation, and in which manner. This book proposes an innovative way of looking at OLAF, which we refer to as ?composite enforcement procedures.? In this type of procedure, responsibilities for the entirety of enforcement are attributed to inextricably interlinked European Union and Member State legal orders. If we observe OLAF through this new lens, fundamental rights issues that would otherwise go unnoticed come to the forefront. These are issues that arise not in individual legal orders, but rather between or among the European Union and the Member States. This book addresses these fundamental rights challenges and makes concrete recommendations on how they can be addressed and resolved. 606 $aLaw$zEurope 606 $aCriminal law$xInternational unification 606 $aCivil rights 606 $aEuropean communities 606 $aCriminal law 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aEuropean Criminal Law 606 $aEuropean Fundamental Rights and Freedoms 606 $aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law 606 $aEuropean Law 606 $aEuropean Politics 615 0$aLaw 615 0$aCriminal law$xInternational unification. 615 0$aCivil rights. 615 0$aEuropean communities. 615 0$aCriminal law. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aEuropean Criminal Law. 615 24$aEuropean Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. 615 24$aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law. 615 24$aEuropean Law. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 676 $a364.163094 700 $aBovend'Eerdt$b Koen$01631575 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831009903321 996 $aThe Protection of Fundamental Rights in OLAF Composite Enforcement Procedures$93970409 997 $aUNINA
