CEPS and ECRI are organizing a Task Force on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and how to ensure effective and efficient cross-border cooperation and mutual trust.

Notwithstanding years of actions, tackling money laundering effectively remains a big challenge. Several high-profile cases in recent years indicate that we have not come closer to a solution. Some consider it is simply a question of reforming the EU AML supervisory architecture, but the answer is much more complex and nuanced than that. AML deterrence in the EU requires better governance, but improving the structure of European authorities alone will not keep organised crime and other members of the dark economy awake at night unless it is allied to action, commitment and improvements in capability

Hence this task force will focus on three distinct areas: effective governance, sound risk management, and changing capabilities.  It will provide a discussion forum for key international experts, stakeholders from EU and national institutions, practitioners and private sector representatives  with the aim to contribute to an effective and efficient AML framework and to make policy recommendations on the subject.

Meetings and Timeline: 

• 1st Meeting: 23 January 2020
• 2nd Meeting: February 2020
• 3rd Meeting: March 2020
