UFE is represented in the European Parliament, Commission and
Economic and Social Committee. Its task is to convince the European
institutions of the key role played by the members of the financial
administration authorities in the European integration process.
Harmonisation of direct taxes, strengthening the fight against tax and
economic crime on a supranational basis, improving the effectiveness of
the European tax and customs administration authorities with better
staffing levels and more attractive working conditions are as much
kernels of the UFE’s constitution as harmonised training and exchange of
personnel.
The Committee, the highest decision-making body of
UFE, adopted a ‘Charter for the financial administration authorities in
Europe’ in Bonn on 9 September 1997. It is available on the homepage in
English, French, German and Italian.

UFE is also an information exchange for its member unions. We are aware
that the only way we can conduct our trade-union activities effectively
at national level is by being informed of the conditions in other
European countries. UFE is also an information exchange for its member
unions. We are aware that the only way we can conduct our trade-union

Any national association in Europe bringing together employees from
tax and customs administration authorities or from other financial
administration sectors can become a member association of UFE.
