The week in AML

New EU Commission and UN Security Council restrictive measures.

Three developments require attention this week. The European Commission and the UN Security Council have published new restrictive measures — all obliged entities must screen against updated sanctions lists immediately. AMLA has opened public consultations, the first practical sign of the new EU AML Authority engaging with obliged entities. Most significantly, ASPs (administrative service providers) are now classified as Financial Institutions for CRS purposes, creating a new reporting obligation for the TCSP sector. ICPAC has also issued a sanctions alert and a technical alert, likely mirroring the same updates.
