Why did you need to revise Regulation 883/2013?
The revision of the so-called OLAF Regulation was necessary for two main reasons.

Second, the 2017 Commission Evaluation report on the current Regulation clearly identified the need to update the legal framework on a number of aspects in order to increase the effectiveness of investigations conducted by OLAF, as well as the cooperation with Member States.
