European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) Revenue and Competitors

The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) is an EU body mandated to detect, investigate and stop fraud with EU funds across the EU and beyond. It is our role to look into the improper use of funds provided by the EU budget or the evasion of the taxes, duties and levies. OLAF mission protects EU revenues and expenditure through: • carrying out independent investigations into fraud and corruption involving EU funds to ensure that all EU taxpayers’ money reaches projects that can create jobs and growth in Europe; • contributing to strengthening citizens’ trust in the EU Institutions by investigating serious misconduct by EU staff and members of the EU Institutions; • developing a sound EU anti-fraud policy. OLAF can investigate matters relating to fraud, corruption and other offences affecting the EU financial interests concerning: • all EU expenditure, such as Structural Funds, agricultural policy and rural development funds, direct expenditure and external aid; • some areas of EU revenue, mainly customs duties; • suspicions of serious misconduct by EU staff and members of the EU institutions.
