On 17 January 2024, the EPPO and France's Treasury, together with its Interministerial Anti-Fraud Coordination Mission (MICAF), signed a Working Arrangement to foster the detection of fraud involving the Resilience and Recovery Facility (RRF). In France, the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan is coordinated by the French Treasury. As a practical measure, the newly established Working Arrangement also includes a template for reporting possible fraud to the EPPO’s office in France as well as a handbook.

The RRF is a temporary instrument of the European Commission to finance reforms in and investments by EU Member States from the beginning of the pandemic in February 2020 through 31 December 2026 (→ eucrim 1/2021, 151). The Member States have outlined their plans for reform and investment that are to be subsidised by the RRF fund.
