Book Synopsis The OLAF Report 2011 by : European Commission. European Anti-Fraud Office
Download or read book The OLAF Report 2011 written by European Commission. European Anti-Fraud Office. This book was released on 2012. 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 Limits to EU Powers by : Jacob Öberg
Download or read book Limits to EU Powers written by Jacob Öberg. This book was released on 2017-07-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PRAISE FOR THE BOOK “...essential reading for anyone interested in the existence and exercise of EU powers in the field of criminal law. Öberg's critical examination of the constitutional constraints to EU action also raises many questions that are of great interest in other areas of EU competence. The book deserves a wide readership among scholars interested in the constitutional workings of the European Union.” Samuli Miettinen, University of Helsinki & Tallinn University "The main strength of this book lies in its comprehensiveness of dealing with the topical issue of EU regulatory criminal law from the fascinating perspective of limits to EU powers. Its particular contribution to existing scholarship in the field of EU criminal law concerns its focus on judicial checks on the exercise of competences as to which the book offers a convincing proposal for a stricter standard for judicial review in matters of regulatory criminal law and beyond." Professor Jannemieke Ouwerkerk, Leiden Law School "An excellent read on competence allocation in EU law and what it means in criminal law context. This book guides the reader through very complex questions of the contours of subsidiarity, national competences and the exact limits of EU powers. It also supplies up to date case studies of financial crimes and the need for the EU to act effectively and thereby increase confidence in the market and the challenges it may cause for national systems. A very timely contribution." Ester Herlin Karnell, VU University Amsterdam Pursuant to the precepts of EU law, EU policy-makers are bound to ensure that any EU legislation must fall within the remit of the EU's competences. This monograph looks at this highly contested issue, with particular reference to European Union criminal law. It looks at the powers enjoyed by the EU to impose criminal sanctions to suggest mechanisms by which legislative powers could be kept in check. The book argues that the main responsibility for providing checks against the exercise of EU power lies with the EU judiciary. It argues that the most effective form of review is procedural and through the case study of sanctions, provides the basis for such a review. Innovative, engaging and rigorous, this is an important publication both in the field of European criminal and constitutional law.
