The Convention, which supplements the propos­al for a Regulation on protection of the Commu­nities' financial interests (­ > point 1.6.10), is designed primarily to introduce the specific offence of 'fraud against the Communities' financial interests' into the national criminal leg­islation of the Member States, to ensure con­vergence of the systems of penalties and to settle possible conflicts as to jurisdiction. With regard to penalties, provision is made for each Member State to take the necessary mea­sures to ensure that fraudulent conduct detri­mental to the Communities' interests is liable to effective, proportionate and dissuasive penal sanctions including, at least in cases of serious fraud, a custodial sentence and possibly extradi­tion.
