European Anti-fraud Office, Rue Joseph II, Brussels
The European Anti-Fraud Office (abbr. EBBM , English European Anti-Fraud Office , commonly used the abbreviation OLAF from fr. De Lutte Anti-Fraude ) was established within the European Commission to combat fraud in the implementation of European Union programs and policies. The bureau is an independent organization that works with national agencies to combat fraud and corruption [1] .
The bureau was established in 1999 by a decision of the European Commission to replace the Fraud Coordination Division ( fr. Unité de coordination de lutte anti-fraude ), whose competence was limited only to the Commission itself [2] .
