Introduction of the 6th EU AML Directive

The introduction of the new EU AML Directive, consisting of the three pillars, the introduction of the AMLA, the introduction of the new AMLR and the introduction of the AMLD6 as a basis, is intended to open up new opportunities for Europe to combat money laundering within the framework of harmonisation. However, this also entails implementation and regulatory hurdles.

In this seminar, CURENTIS examines the harmonised Anti-Money Laundering Directive with regard to the three intended changes and critically analyses them on the basis of five important core theses:

1. Is it even possible to fully implement the harmonisation of countries through the AMLA in a short timeframe?
2. Does the expansion of the group of obligated parties simplify the work of the newly established AMLA? How should the establishment of the new authority be assessed?
3. If harmonisation will move the EU forward in the context of money laundering, why are there also sceptics? CURENTIS takes a critical look at this.
4. Do the increased data collection and the required analysis tools affect citizens' privacy?
5. Do stricter regulations in the wake of the EU AML Directive affect the competitiveness of European financial institutions?

We look forward to your participation!
