Same obligations for everyone in Europe

Last July, the EU presented the 6th EU Anti-Money Laundering Package, consisting of the 6th EU Money Laundering Directive, an EU Money Laundering Regulation and a Regulation establishing the European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA). The package must be transposed into national law by July 2027.

At the beginning of April, the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) conducted a company survey as part of the national risk analysis in the context of the fight against money laundering. The BMF's aim is to identify those areas of the economy that are particularly vulnerable to money laundering. EU Member States may impose stricter requirements on such areas than those provided for in EU law. We have addressed our key messages to the BMF.
