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 UR - http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2019/633144/EPRS_BRI(2019)633144_EN.pdf ER -
