Fraud and counterfeiting: non-cash means of
payment
The Commission launched in October 2004 a new Action
Plan (2004-2007) to prevent fraud on non-cash means of payment. This new
plan follows an earlier similar plan (2001-2003). This site provides
further information on both plans and other initiatives undertaken by the
Commission, sometimes in cooperation with other parties, to prevent and
reduce fraud and counterfeiting of non-cash means of payment and related
organised financial crime.

Data sharing on fraud prevention
At the request of EU banks and with the mediation of the
Commission, the data protection working partyhave drawn up and
endorsed new guidelines on the use of databases which contain
information on credit card fraud taking place at merchants. The
guidelines will provide the banking sector with greater legal
certainty when transferring relevant information across the EU and
will help prevent further credit card fraud. They will also ensure
that adequate privacy safeguards are maintained. |
