3. Do you have any comments on the section titled ‘General requirements’?

Could you confirm that term "entire categories of customers" in point 10 does not refer to the following customer(s) posing high MLTF risk:
a) customer(s) incriminated by law enforcement for organized crime (national or transnational in nature), serious predicate offences (in terms of frequency, duration or economic impact) or for attempted /aided or executed terrorist act - detained or on the run from criminal prosecution
b) customer(s) convicted for organized crime (national or transnational in nature), serious predicate offences (in terms of frequency, duration or economic impact) or for attempted /aided or executed terrorist act - imprisoned or on the run from serving a prison sentence
c) customer(s) convicted for organized crime (national or transnational in nature), serious predicate offences (in terms of frequency, duration or economic impact) or for attempted /aided or executed terrorist act - who served a prison sentence but have not yet been rehabilitated subject to provisions of the national law
