On 17 April 2018, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a directive intended to facilitate
law enforcement authorities' access to and use of financial information held in other jurisdictions
within the EU for investigations related to terrorism and other serious crime. In this sense, the
proposed directive would grant competent authorities direct access to bank account information
contained in centralised registries set up in each Member State, according to the provisions of the
Fifth Anti-Money-Laundering Directive. The proposal also aims to strengthen domestic and crossborder
exchange of information between EU Member States' competent authorities, including law
enforcement authorities and financial intelligence units, as well as with Europol. Following the
Council's adoption of its negotiating position in November 2018, on 3 December 2018, the European
Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties adopted its report and mandate in view of
interinstitutional negotiations. This mandate was confirmed in plenary in December 2018.
