AMLA, the EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority, will hold an online public hearing on May 28 on a draft Regulatory Technical Standard on cooperation between supervisors of cross-border groups.

The draft RTS addresses supervisors of groups of regulated entities operating across borders in the financial and non-financial sectors. 

“The proposed draft RTS set out a simple, proportionate and efficient framework for cooperation between home and host supervisors of cross-border groups of obliged entities, covering practical cooperation arrangements, information exchange, and cross-border inquiry procedures,” the authority said in a press release on Monday.

The RTS specifies the respective roles of home and host supervisors and establishes practical arrangements for effective day-to-day cooperation.

Under the proposed regulation supervisors will adopt a where information exchanged may be shared with other system members without prior consent from the originating supervisor, subject to notification. 

Home and host supervisors will also be able  conduct cross-border inquiries and coordinate activities via common approaches. 

It is part of a broader cooperation framework that also includes AML/CFT supervisory colleges and cooperation guidelines. 

The hearing will start at 2pm CET and last for about two hours. Book your place [HERE].
