EU Proposal Eases Access to VAT Data for Fraud Fight, Cabinet Supports Revised Safeguards

  • The Dutch cabinet now supports the revised EU proposal to amend Regulation 904/2010, allowing the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EOM) and OLAF faster access to VAT information to combat fraud.
  • The proposal does not expand EOM and OLAF’s powers but clarifies and limits data sharing to targeted, case-specific information within their existing mandate.
  • Direct database access is restricted to specific searches and overseen by Eurofisc liaison officers.
  • The cabinet’s concerns about proportionality, data security, and feasibility have been addressed in the revised text, despite the lack of an impact assessment.
