STOP FRAUD and abuse of EU FUNDS - by better control of decisions, implementation and penalties

European Institutions should be entitled to apply enhanced (including ex-ante) control and stricter sanctions in those Member States of the EU which are not members of the European Prosecutor’s Office. To prevent and penalise fraud and abuse of EU funds the European Institutions should be entitled to apply enhanced control in Member States which are not part of the European Prosecutor’s Office cooperation. This would include ex-ante control of funding and procurement decisions in risky areas. We propose that such deepened control should cover complete exploration of all circumstances and also publication of fraudulent activities and other offences harming the financial interests of the EU.
