Book excerpt: This book deals with the cooperation between Member States of the European Union in their fight against fraud. Various mechanisms exist to detect, investigate and deal with fraud directed against the financial interests of the European Union. When Member States of the European Union require one another's assistance, they can basically resort to two forms of cooperation: cooperation in administrative matters and cooperation in criminal matters. A key question is therefore which form of cooperation they should choose in any given set of circumstances. A further question is whether either form of cooperation is exclusive. The survey examines and compares the law of four jurisdictions within the European Union: the Netherlands, Germany, France and England and Wales.
