The fight against financial crime, which includes anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), is vital for financial stability and security in Europe and the integrity of financial markets.
Fighting money laundering and terrorist financing contributes to global security, integrity of the financial system, financial stability and sustainable growth.
The Commission is mandated to identify high-risk third countries having strategic deficiencies in their regime on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.
The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) will be the central authority coordinating national authorities to ensure the correct and consistent application of EU rules.
