RTS on group-wide minimum requirements and additional measures for subsidiaries and branches in third countries

Worum es geht

Minimum content of group-wide AML/CFT policies, procedures and controls, information sharing within the group, and the additional measures a group must take where a third country does not allow the group standard to be applied. Consulted from 16 April to 15 June 2026 (public hearing 20 May 2026); On 1 October 2026 AMLA published the final report and submitted the final draft to the European Commission (press release of 1 October 2026). Until the RTS applies, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/758 on measures in certain third countries stays in force.

Was es in der Praxis bedeutet

Groups with foreign subsidiaries or branches: re-document the group policy, intra-group information sharing and the escalation for third countries with legal impediments.
