The proposed law has two main objectives.
The first is to strengthen the anti-money laundering mechanism towards non-cooperative countries and territories in the fight against money laundering. These non-cooperative countries and territories are identified on the basis of criteria defined by the Financial Action Group (FATF). The FATF wants to act firmly against countries and territories that persist in a non-cooperative attitude for at least a year. The measures are mainly focused on identification, on the one hand, and the strengthening of reporting mechanisms, on the other.
The second objective of the law is to strengthen the anti-laundering mechanism relating to money transfer activities.
During the general discussion, the speakers addressed the following aspects: the availability of the list of non-cooperative countries — which is annexed to the report —, the need to commit firmly to the fight against money laundering, the problem of collateral, the problem of the maximum amount that can be subject to a money transfer operated by a foreign exchange agent.
The bill was adopted unanimously by the members of the committee.
