In addition, together with our fellow joint undertakings (JUs), we have created a JU-specific anti-fraud strategy.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:8px">It should be emphasised that in most cases where irregularities are detected, an analysis of the situation reveals that they are not fraud, but are due to simple human error, for example.
