Response to Revision of EU rules on Anti-Money Laundering (new instrument)

17 Nov 2021

EOS Group wishes to thank the European Commission for the opportunity to comment on its 2021 AML/CFT leg-islative package as we already did on the 2020 Action Plan. We hope that the new legislative initiatives and the future EU AML/CFT Authority will become a strong source of guidance and a true partner for businesses in their fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism in the EU and beyond EU borders. However, it should be ensured that all measures foreseen in the AML/CFT package are efficiently directed at high-risk indus-tries and activities and do not place unnecessary and disproportionate burdens on low-risk operations. EOS welcomes the efforts undertaken by the European Commission to strengthen and harmonise EU AML and CFT rules via a “Single Rulebook”. We consider EU-wide harmonisation to be crucial in the fight against money laundering as cross-border business operations are often cumbersome due to specific national AML provisions. However, we feel that, while many aspects of the proposals aim at establishing stricter rules, measures to clarify the requirements arising from the so-called risk-based approach are missing. In our opinion, a fully-fledged risk-based approach would allow for the introduction of adequate measures based on specific situations and ensure that all efforts focus on "high-risk-cases". New AML rules should not only complement already existing obliga-tions for companies, but also cut red tape wherever regulatory burdens exceed precautions that are necessary to effectively counter money laundering activities. As a general principle, we believe that all KYC requirements should be balanced against data protection considerations. Please see our full position paper attached below for details.
