​

The Working Group on the Protection of the Communities' Financial Interests was established in 2001 to:

  • identify the statutory framework which exists in each Member State to protect the financial interests of the Communities and the structure of the authority set up for this purpose, and its remit; and
  • analyse the powers, remit and specific activities performed by the national and/or central/regional SAIs to protect the financial interests of the Communities.

The Working Group concluded its mandate in 2003 after submitting its final report on “the protection of the financial interests of the European Communities”, which was adopted by the Contact Committee.
