Abstract

Illegal activities that affect the financial interests of the European Union are, in most cases, transnational, being committed by criminal groups that know the legislative vulnerabilities of some Member States. An efficient fight against these types of illicit actions cannot be achieved only by a regulation and implementation at national level, in other words by the presence of national criminal legislation but by a harmonization of criminal laws in the field, respectively by a common definition at the union level, and implicitly by the creation of the appropriate legal framework regarding the offenses directed against the financial interests of the European Union. Thus, the need arose for the common definition of the offenses directed against the financial interests of the European Union, as well as the creation of a similar sanctioning system at the level of the Member States. The provisions of the Directive 2017/1371 on combating fraud directed against the financial interests of the Union by means of criminal law are in accordance with the Union law in the field deduced from the analysis, so the Union norm establishes minimum rules regarding the definition of crimes and sanctions regarding the fight against fraud and other illegal activities which affect the financial interests of the European Union.
