TextPublication details: European Parliamentary Research Service October 2016Description: 9 p. Recurso onlineSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: This briefing seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's
Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying its above-mentioned proposal, submitted on 5 July 2016 and referred
jointly to Parliament's Committees on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) and on Civil Liberties, Justice and
Home Affairs (LIBE). This proposal would amend the fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive, which was adopted
on 5 June 2015 and is due to enter into force in 2017. The terrorist attacks of late 2015 had already prompted a
review of the anti-money laundering framework when, in April 2016, the Panama Papers created a renewed sense
of urgency to act in a related field. As a result, the IA under review consists of two parts. Part 1 analyses the
amendments brought about in the light of the terrorist attacks, whereas Part 2 addresses the Panama Papers
revelations. Both parts are presented in parallel below. This IA builds on a 2013 Commission IA, which was the
subject of a separate initial appraisal.
