The EBA consults on Guidelines on internal policies, procedures and controls to ensure the implementation of Union and national sanctions
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a public consultation on two sets of Guidelines on internal policies, procedures and controls to ensure the implementation of Union and national restrictive measures. Restrictive measures are binding on any person or entity under the jurisdiction of Member States. They comprise individual measures, i.e. targeted financial sanctions, and sectoral measures, i.e. financial and economic measures or embargoes. Through these Guidelines, the EBA creates, for the first time, a common understanding, among payment service providers (PSPs), crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and their supervisors, of the steps they need to take to be able to comply with restrictive measures. The consultation runs until 25 March 2024.

The Regulatory Technical Standards specifying the requirements for policies and procedures on conflicts of interest for issuers of asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) aim at strengthening the management of conflicts of interest by issuers of ARTs and ensure convergence of requirements across the European Union.

EBA consults on Guidelines on preventing the abuse of funds and certain crypto-assets transfers for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a public consultation on new Guidelines on preventing the abuse of funds and certain crypto-assets transfers for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes. These ‘travel rule’ Guidelines specify the steps that Payment Service Providers (PSPs), Intermediary PSPs (IPSPs), crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and Intermediary CASPs (ICASPs) should take to detect missing or incomplete information that accompanies a transfer of funds or crypto-assets. They also detail the procedures all these providers should put in place to manage a transfer of funds or a transfer of crypto-assets that lacks the required information. These Guidelines aim at forging a common understanding to ensure the consistent application of EU law as well as a stronger anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime. The consultation runs until 26 February 2024.
