Ukraine formalises participation in the Union Anti-Fraud Programme

Summary:

The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has welcomed Ukraine's participation in the Union Anti-Fraud Programme (2021-2027) through the signature of an Association Agreement. Ukraine is the first non-EU Member State to formalize its participation in the programme, which provides financial support to Member States and associated countries to implement anti-fraud measures. The programme aims to protect the EU's financial interests by providing targeted assistance, specialized equipment, training, and conferences. The agreement is seen as a positive step in supporting Ukraine's efforts to upgrade its national anti-fraud operational capacity.
