Reynders made the following statement, welcoming the start of activities of the European Public Prosecutor s Office:
“As of today, the European Public Prosecutor s Office (EPPO) is up and running. This opens a new chapter in fighting cross-border crime. The first supranational prosecution service is launching its operations to protect the EU taxpayer s money, competent to investigate and prosecute crimes like money laundering, corruption and cross-border VAT fraud.
In 2019 alone, Member States reported fraud affecting EUR 460 million of the EU budget. Such fraudulent activities have a direct impact on people s everyday lives, inflicting serious economic damage. This has to stop, all the more so because COVID-19 has deeply challenged our economies and we need every euro for the recovery.
