Corruption is a salient issue undermining EU’s financial interests. OLAF 2016 report highlight that “there is one other common thread running through OLAF’s investigations in general, and the public procurement ones in particular, that would be the existence and use of corruption”. Mr. Giovanni Kessler, Director-General of OLAF pointed out that “corruption is still an almost universal aspect found in our cases”.
The conference is supported by the European Union Programme Hercule III (2014-2020).
