You Should Have Read the Small Print: The European Commission's Post‐Maastricht Response to Fraud

Abstract

The work of the European Commission's unit to combat fraud, UCLAF, is taking full advantage of information technology in its efforts to improve the collection, collation and detection of fraud and irregular activities in the Member States. This is the first of two papers dealing with the work of UCLAF, and concentrates upon bringing the nature of the problem and the institutional and technological background to the attention of readers. The second paper will concentrate upon an interview with Per Knudsen, Director of UCLAF, in which the impact of the new technology and future developments in detection and prosecution will be the focus.
