ESA(欧州金融監督機構)、マネーロンダリング対策・テロ資金供与対策に係る中央コンタクト・ポイントの指定・機能に関するRTS(規制上の技術的基準)案を公表


Default: Change to:


The Joint Committee of the ESAs published draft regulatory technical standards to help Member States determine when payment service providers and electronic money issuers should appoint a Central Contact Point (CCP) to support the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.


The draft RTS set out the criteria Member States must consider when deciding whether foreign payment service providers and electronic money issuers should appoint a CCP, and list the functions this CCP will have to have to discharge its role effectively. 

Payment service providers and electronic money issuers with a head office in an EU Member State can provide services through establishments, for example agents or distributors, in other, host Member States. Such establishments have to comply with the AML/CFT regime of the host Member State, even if they are not obliged entities themselves. Effective AML/CFT oversight of such establishments can, therefore, be difficult.

In those situations, Directive (EU) 2015/849 envisages the appointment of CCPs. CCPs should be able to ensure compliance with applicable AML/CFT requirements, and facilitate supervision, by the host Member State's competent authority, of compliance with those requirements. 

These RTS will foster a consistent approach, by Member States, to the Directive's CCP provisions and support the development of a CCP regime that is clear, proportionate and risk-based, and boosts the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
