The European Anti-Fraud Office OLAF: OLAF actively counteracts the illegal trade of F-gases via its investigative work and intelligence gathering. It collaborates with various national authorities to support enforcement of the F-gas regulation.
See anything suspicious? We recommend to share it with OLAF directly via their Fraud Notification System. It is anonymous, available in the 24 official EU languages and comes without unnecessary formalities.
Every EU Member State has its own national contact point for any issues related to F-gases. These can be found here.
