Note 1: Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal ( ‘dow’), set by the European
standards body, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be
otherwise.
In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted
amendment. The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if
any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of
conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Communication from OLAF

(2004/C 20/06)

In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1073/1999, the Director of the European
Anti-Fraud Office has presented to the European Parliament,
the Council, the Commission and the
Court of Auditors his report on operational activities as adopted on 17 October 2003. The report
describes investigation work between mid-2002 and mid-2003 and the results of cooperation with
partners in fighting fraud and also gives an account of the improvements made to the structure of the
Office.

The report is available in the eleven official languages of the European Union on the Internet site

http://europa.eu.int/comm/anti_fraud/reports/index_en.html
