The European Parliament\u2019s committees on Economic & Monetary Affairs (ECON) and Civil Liberties Justice & Home Affairs (LIBE) voted on the revision of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive on the 28th of February. The report was guided through Parliament by the Dutch Green co-rapporteur Judith Sargentini together with the EPP\u2019s Kri\u0161j\u0101nis Karins. The majority of MEPs agreed to many demands from the Greens\/EFA Group. The final text received an overwhelming majority in the Committees and is now the mandate of the Parliament for the decisive negotiation with the Council of member states which will start on 21 March. <\/span><\/p>\n

MEP <\/span>Sven Giegold<\/b>, financial and economic policy spokesperson of the Greens\/EFA group commented:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe European Parliament demands a tough line against financial crime. The Parliaments draws strong conclusions from the Panama Papers scandal. European anti-money laundering legislation has to be strengthened and properly enforced. We call on the member states to show the same strength and take on financial crime. Corruption, terrorism, tax evasion, wildlife trade, drugs and human trafficing can be fought by going after dirty money.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A public register for companies and trusts sheds light on complex company structures and shelf companies abused to hide illegal earnings. The Council wants to restrict the access to the register to people with a legitimate interest. This is bureaucratic, intransparent and will make the quality of the data worse if the register is not publically accessible.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In so many of the tax dodging scandals of recent years, poor enforcement has been as much of a problem as poor legislation. Therefore, we hope that our Green proposal to grant the European Commission the power to audit Member States\u2018 relevant authorities will be preserved in the trialogues. We need to make sure that Member States are enforcing the rules.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We will try hard to convince Member States to agree on our Green proposal to make beneficial ownership information transparent in real estate registers. Criminal money is often invested in real estate. Therefore, it is crucial for financial intelligence units (FIUs) and law enforcement bodies to know who benefits from these assets.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Finally, we will fight for an improvement of the criteria defining high-risk third countries in order to cover more jurisdictions. When establishing this blacklist, the Commission has to carry out its own evaluation of the real money laundering risks posed by third countries.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Require Member states to ensure that the competent authorities have adequate powers and adequate financial, human and technical resources to perform their functions (Art. 7b (5a new) of the Company Law Directive)<\/span><\/p>\n

Strengthen cross-border information exchange and cooperation<\/b><\/p>\n

Ensure cooperation and information exchange among competent authorities supervising credit and financial institutions (Art. 50a, Art. 57a, Art. 57b)<\/span><\/p>\n
