On 6 February 2025, from 10:00 to 11:15, the FISC Subcommittee will host an exchange of views with Ms Laura Kövesi, European Chief Prosecutor, and Mr Yannic Hulot, Chair of Eurofisc on "The role of the EPPO and Eurofisc in tackling VAT fraud in the EU."

Recent EPPO-led investigations, highlight the scale of cross-border VAT fraud and its impact on EU and national budgets. These schemes, often linked to organized crime networks, exploit loopholes in the VAT system and require enhanced cooperation, intelligence-sharing, and enforcement measures at the EU level.

This exchange of views will provide Members an opportunity to discuss the challenges, legal barriers, and enforcement efforts in combating VAT fraud, as well as how the European Parliament, EPPO, and Eurofisc can work together to strengthen fraud detection and prevention mechanisms in the EU.
