Regulation, and the report will be published in June, as provided for by Article 119 of the EPO regulation. On its basis, the commission will indeed work on a proposal for the revision of the EPO regulation, which we intend to adopt shortly after the evaluation, in the context of the already mentioned review of the EU anti-fraud architecture.

00:27 - 00:27

Thank you.

00:29 - 00:34

Speaker 1

Thank you. I'm not a good person. Have the floor for the final replies and for your concluding remarks.

00:35 - 01:42

Speaker 3

Thank you. With my hand on my heart, I will give you the answer in April because, indeed, we have a long list. Some of the requests have already been implemented. We still have a few things ongoing that the minister of justice promised that they will do. So probably in April, when I visit him, I can tell you if the list was solved or not.

And for the Greek, yes, for the Greek situation, yes, as I said, we have a few investigations ongoing, but I don't see a specific field in which there are more frauds or less frauds. This depends very much on the specificity of each member state. And the high problem that we have and created a lot of problems was related to the conflict of competencies because around 10 member states, when it's about solving this issue of conflict of competence, this is made by the general prosecutor, and we do not have the possibility to go in front of the court. And this is where we sometimes had difficulties.

Speaker 1

Thank you, madam Curci, and I would like to thank also all colleagues who participated in today's discussion. I would like to thank co-chair for going through today's session. And, I would also like to remind that Liba members will have the chance to have further exchange of information and discussions with Ms. Coversi during next week's Libya member's mission to EPPO. Needless to say, today's discussion highlighted once again the crucial role of the EPPO, and our committees will continue to follow closely the development of the EPPO's activities.

And finally, I would like to express deep appreciation to Miss Coversi for her exceptional leadership and tireless dedication during her mandate, for her invaluable contributions to the development and consolidation of the EPPO. Thank you so much.

02:52 - 03:07

Speaker 4

Thank you so much, colleagues. To conclude, I would like to reiterate what has been said by my colleague from the Lieb Chair. Thank you, Ms. Kovese, for your dedication and for all the people that work together with you. And like that, I think we can close the meeting.

03:08 - 03:08

Thank you very much.
