Stronger action against fraud and better protection of EU money
Official title: Bescherming van de financiële belangen van de Europese Unie – fraudebestrijding – jaarverslag 2024
Status: Parliament has rejected this proposal.
In plain language
- The European Parliament calls for closer cooperation and digital tools among EU countries to detect fraud, corruption, and VAT scams more effectively.
- This affects public authorities, companies applying for EU funds, and bodies tasked with monitoring public spending.
- For you, this means greater certainty that your tax money is spent honestly and that abusers of public subsidies are held accountable.
