Consultation on the draft RTS on cross-border information exchange between Financial Intelligence Units

AMLA’s open public consultations are open to all stakeholders with an interest in the EU’s anti‑money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) framework. We particularly welcome contributions from Financial Intelligence Units, public authorities, obliged entities, supervisory authorities, self-regulatory bodies, international institutions and organisations, civil society organisations, consumer representatives, academia, and investigative journalists. 

The rules place no direct obligations on private companies, but practitioners with relevant experience are welcome to respond. 

Public input on this draft RTS is essential to ensure that the proposed criteria are practical, effective, and proportionate in practice.

The draft RTS establishes clear and harmonised criteria for identifying when a report of suspicions concerns another Member State, and for transmitting it accordingly between Financial Intelligence Units. It aims to make cross-border information exchange more consistent, efficient, and reliable, strengthening cooperation between FIUs and supporting smoother integration into existing systems such as FIU.net.
