With ever more transparency expected about how EU taxpayers’ money is spent, suspected cases of fraud and allegations of corruption attract ever more public and political attention – in particular when it comes to the misuse of EU funds.

This conference, co-organised by the European Commission and Transparency International, is putting anti-fraud and anti-corruption measures in relation to the use of the European Structural and Investment (ESI) Funds under the spotlight.

The event is timely. New rules for the different Funds (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund, European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Fisheries and Maritime Fund) will come into force in January 2014. They require authorities managing EU money to put more resources into effective and proportionate anti-fraud measures to identify and tackle potential risk areas.

Early next year, the Commission will present its first ‘EU Anti-Corruption Report’ which will widen the analysis beyond the use of the five Funds examined at this Conference; while the Annual International Anti-corruption Day this year falls on 9 December – perfectly setting the scene for our debates.

The objective of the Conference is to raise awareness and showcase some tools and meas-ures which can help to identify and mitigate fraud and corruption risks in relation to the use of ESI funds. Representatives from EU institutions, national authorities and civil society organisations will share their experience and good practice examples.

The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy thanks Transparency International, the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF), DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, DG Home Affairs, DG Internal Market, DG Agriculture and Rural Development, DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries for their contribution and close collabora-tion in organising this event.

Following the plenary session of the morning, the Conference will be split into 4 parallel working groups where participants can explore the following subjects in more detail:

A. ‘How to manage fraud risks’;B. ‘Data-mining tools for fraud prevention and detection’; C. ‘Why conflicts of interests in procurement matter and how to tackle them’;

andD. ‘Integrity Pacts’: bringing managing authorities and civil society together

to tackle corruption.

WORKING GROUP A

How to manage fraud risks

CHAIR Ms Vittoria Alliata-di Villafranca, Director, DG REGIO

SHORT DESCRIPTION of the issues to be addressed/covered by a WG sessionThe fight against fraud in the use of the European Structural and Investment (ESI) Funds must be a joint effort between the European institutions and the national/regional authorities managing the pro-grammes. The European Commission must provide solid guidance to the relevant authorities and Member States must adopt structured and targeted measures to manage fraud risks.

The workshop has a double objective. Firstly, it will present the Com-mission’s guidance on how to identify and assess fraud risks on the one hand and how to put in place effective and proportionate anti-fraud measures on the other hand. And secondly, the workshop will present participants with an opportunity to share and exchange experience and good practices on fraud risk management.

KEY speakers and the topics covered § Leif Högnäs, Fraud prevention officer, DG REGIO.

‘Assessing fraud risks and putting in place effective and proportion-ate anti-fraud measures for the 2014-2020 programming period’

§ Radim Bureš, Programme Director, Transparency International, Czech Republic. ‘EU funds – opportunity or risks?’

§ Rolf Schlotterer, Director of Criminal Investigation Department of Dresden, State of Saxony, Germany. ‘The BORKOR principle – innovative methods and high-tech to combat fraud and corruption’

WORKING GROUP B

Data-mining tools for fraud prevention and detection

CHAIRMr Francisco Merchán Cantos, Director, DG EMPL Audit Directorate

SHORT DESCRIPTION of the issues to be addressed/covered by a WG sessionInternal and external information about the implementation of the ESI Funds is available in many shapes. Very often it is scattered around and not very well organised or accessible. DG EMPL and DG REGIO have joined their efforts in a successful attempt to explore the hidden truth behind certain projects. A hidden truth that casts a different light on beneficiaries, contractors and even sub-contractors. An application has been developed by DG EMPL and DG REGIO suggesting a quantum leap in the world of verification and auditing. Member States’ authorities and Commission staff now have the instrument to better combat fraud and irregularities… it is called ARACHNE.

This working group session will present the data mining tool ARACHNE as well as the experience of one Member State (Portugal) in using it.

It will also draw the attention of the workshop participants to transpar-ency initiatives run by the ‘Open Knowledge Foundation’ that provide spending data from the EU Funds and can help civil servants within Member States and the Commission to prevent fraud and to increase accountability of these funds.

KEY speakers and the topics covered § Martin Kreutner, Dean of the International

Anti-Corruption Academy, Austria. ‘(Anti)Corruption in the international context – trends and challenges’

§ Stefan Wehrmeyer, Open Knowledge Foundation Germany. ‘Open data as method for fraud prevention’

§ Mark Schelfhout, Head of Unit, DG EMPL and Luis Manuel de Oliveira Metelo, Team Leader, General Inspection of Finance, Portugal. ‘Fraud prevention and detection through the use of the data-mining tool ARACHNE in the ESI Funds’

WORKING GROUP C

Why conflicts of interests in procurement matter and how to tackle them

CHAIRMr Martin Schauer, Deputy Head of the Fraud Prevention Unit, OLAF

SHORT DESCRIPTION of the issues to be addressed/covered by a WG sessionThe working group will focus mainly on conflict of interests in pub-lic procurement and address this complex issue around three build-ing blocks:

§ definition of conflict of interests situations and their link to cor-ruption;

§ actions and tools to ensure conflicts of interests are properly de-clared (tone at the top, declarations of absence of conflict of inter-ests, interests declarations, awareness raising, guidance, procedures);

§ fraud indicators (red flags), checks and controls.

Participants will learn more about how conflicts of interests are per-ceived and tackled in different Member States and what practices exist, including a short guide on conflicts of interests for managers developed by experts from 10 Member States in the context of the Advisory Committee for the Coordination of Fraud Prevention. The team will include officials from OLAF, the Romanian Department for Fight Against Fraud (DLAF), DG MARKT and DG EMPL.

KEY speakers and the topics covered § Martin Příborský, Legal and policy officer,

Policy Development Unit, OLAF. ‘Definition of conflict of interests and its links to corruption’

§ Anca Zamfir, Counsellor, Department for Fight Against Fraud (DLAF), Government of Romania. ‘Measures to mitigate the impact of conflicts of interests’

§ Piotr Baczmański, Policy Analyst, Fraud Prevention Unit, OLAF. ‘Red flags, checks and controls’

WORKING GROUP D

Integrity Pacts: bringing managing authorities and civil society together to tackle corruption

CHAIRCarl Dolan, Director, Transparency International EU office

SHORT DESCRIPTION of the issues to be addressed/covered by a WG sessionCorruption and fraud are real risks wherever large sums of money are spent and require concerted action by managing authorities, private sector and civil society. In order to bring these elements together and prevent corruption in public contracting TI has developed the ‘Integ-rity Pact’ tool.

Integrity Pacts have been around since the 1990s, and have been applied in more than 15 countries and 300 separate situations. They help save taxpayer funds, ensure that infrastructure projects and other public works are delivered efficiently, and stave off ave-nues for illicit gain.

The workshop has as its objective to discuss how civil society and pub-lic authorities can work together in preventing corruption in European Structural and Investment Funds through integrity pacts. Drawing on the experience of the Bremen health clinic, this session will explore how integrity pacts can be used to detect and prevent corruption.

KEY speakers and the topics covered § Michael Wiehen, Senior procurement advisor,

Transparency International. ‘Principles of Integrity Pacts and their global application’

§ Dr. Kirsten Schubert, Physician and chair of the Transparency International Germany Working Group on Integrity Pacts. ‘The Integrity Pact and the reconstruction of Bremen city hospital’

§ Prof. Dr. Jürgen Gotthold, Attorney and Construction Expert. ‘Monitoring the Integrity Pact for Bremen city hospital’
