title = {Regulation 833/2013 - Concerning Investigations Conducted by OLAF: A Missed Opportunity for Substantial Reforms?},
year = {2017},
note = {Four years after the first proposal for regulation presented by the
European Commission, the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor
Office is still subject to an intense debate among the EU institutions
and the Member States. While the legal doctrine has extensively
debated the question, little attention has been paid to the
legislative reform adopted in 2013 that intended to improve
investigations conducted by the existing European body having
competence to investigate fraud and corruption against the EU
financial interests: the European Anti-Fraud Office. Drawing on a
comprehensive analysis of the new Regulation 883/2013 concerning
investigations conducted by OLAF, the paper comes to the conclusion
that the enacted reform fails to address some crucial issues that the
European anti-fraud enforcement system is facing and will still face
after the eventual creation of an EU prosecutorial authority.},
