"In 2012, OLAF has kept up the high pace in fighting fraud and maintained the policy of zero tolerance towards corruption. The excellent results presented in the Report demonstrate OLAF's commitment to efficiency and high quality investigations. To achieve the full impact in our fight against fraud, the cooperation of our partners and Member States is essential. Swift and decisive actions are crucial in recovering misused EU money and in bringing perpetrators to justice" said Giovanni Kessler, Director-General of OLAF.
The achievements of 2012 were the result of a major internal reorganisation combined with the introduction of new investigative procedures and working practices. These changes strengthened the investigative and policy-making capacity of OLAF. They also contributed to a clearer distribution of responsibilities internally and reduced overheads, making OLAF more efficient overall.
Throughout the year, OLAF continued to contribute to the development and implementation of anti-fraud policies and legislation.
In the framework of the Commission's Anti-Fraud Strategy, OLAF worked closely with other services of the European Commission to improve the detection and prevention of fraud. OLAF also further developed its cooperation with other EU Institutions.
On behalf of the European Commission, OLAF successfully represented the European Union throughout the negotiation process for the Protocol to Eliminate the Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products to the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
Together with the Directorate-General for Justice, OLAF prepared a legislative proposal concerning the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office. The proposal is planned for adoption in 2013. It seeks to strengthen the investigation and prosecution of fraud against the EU budget.
In order to provide an overview of the breadth of OLAF activities in 2012 across different sectors, the Report includes several case studies.
