Staff exchanges

This grant aims to organise staff exchanges between national and regional administrations, including those in EU candidate and potential candidate countries, to help develop, improve, and update staff skills for protecting the financial interests of the EU. The expected outcome is that professionals, especially staff from customs authorities and other law enforcement bodies, are better able to protect the EU's financial interests through the acquisition of new skills, specialized methodologies, a greater awareness of EU fraud-risk indicators, and increased opportunities to develop anti-fraud strategies at the EU level.
