This Annual Forum on Combating Corruption in the EU will debate how best to ensure effective detection, investigation and prosecution of corruption, with special regard to new prevention and investigation techniques.

The tackling of corruption, especially in an international context, suffers from a lack of effective investigation techniques and means of enforcement, resulting in inadequate compliance.
International regulation is slowly recognising these deficits and is attempting to address them through new initiatives, notably the United Nations Convention against Corruption.

Within the European Union several initiatives have been taken. In 2011 the European Commission adopted the so-called ‘anti-corruption package’, a set of measures to address more vigorously the serious harm generated by corruption at economic, social and political levels. One year later, in March 2012, the new proposal for a Directive on freezing and confiscation was published and in 2013 OLAF published a Study aimed at collecting information and developing methodologies to assist both the Commission and Member States' authorities with the implementation of the new EU anti-corruption policies.

Key topics

  • European and international legal framework for combating corruption and protecting the EU’s financial interests
  • National experiences and new techniques in prosecuting offences affecting the EU's financial interests and key challenges for prosecutions
  • Assisting Member States' authorities with the implementation of the new EU anti-corruption policies
  • Developing a comprehensive methodology to measure the real costs of corruption in selected sectors of the economy
  • New investigation techniques in criminalising active and passive corruption carried out in the course of business activities

Who should attend?

Judges, prosecutors, ministry officials, lawyers in private practice, police officers and policymakers.
