The hearing will examine how organised crime exploits the Single Market through VAT and customs fraud, undermining the Union’s financial interests, and will consider how fraud cases can be better detected, investigated and followed up to ensure the recovery of lost revenue. Members will exchange views with experts and representatives from the European Commission, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and national authorities on existing vulnerabilities and possible ways to strengthen the EU framework for preventing and combating revenue fraud.
