CEPS has launched a task force on how to achieve progress in the combat against money laundering at EU level. Notwithstanding years of actions, tackling money laundering effectively remains a big challenge. Several high-profile cases in recent years indicate that we have not come closer to a solution. Some consider it is simply a question of reforming the EU AML supervisory architecture, but the answer is much more complex and nuanced than that. AML deterrence in the EU requires better governance, but improving the structure of European authorities alone will not keep organised crime and other members of the dark economy awake at night unless it is allied to action, commitment and improvements in capability.

Hence this task force focuses on three distinct areas: effective governance, sound risk management, and changing capabilities.  It is a discussion forum for key international experts, stakeholders from EU and national institutions, practitioners and private sector representatives  with the aim to contribute to an effective and efficient AML framework and to make policy recommendations on the subject.

The Task Force report is under preparation and it will be presented in a webianr in early January 2021
