Report of irregularities

The identity of a civil servant, employee or third party who reports a suspected irregularity is kept secret, in accordance with the regulations.

Irregularity is any infringement of a provision of the rules and contracts, resulting from an act or omission by the persons employed in the bodies within the system for decentralized management of EU pre-accession assistance programmes, by contractors, final beneficiaries and end recipients, which has or would have the effect of prejudicing the general budget of the European Union by charging an unjustified item of expenditure to the general budget.

A civil servant, an employee or a third person shall report any discrepancy, inconsistency or infringement of regulations which constitute irregularity or raise reasonable doubt that the irregularity occurred, irrespective of the size and significance of the irregularity and/or fraud, and regardless of whether they were committed on purpose or accidentally.

A civil servant, an employee or a third person who reports a suspected irregularity during the implementation of an EU pre-accession assistance programme shall not be subject to a disciplinary procedure, termination of employment contract or any other measure with adverse effect on his/her employment status based on the reported irregularity signal.

The identity of the civil servant, employee or third person who reports an irregularity shall be kept confidential, in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Irregularity can be reported anonymously, without providing personal data. When applying, it is necessary to provide as many details as possible about the project itself and the type of suspected irregularity.
