Representatives from 13 of the 15 European Union member states came together in Paris yesterday for a meeting to discuss anti-money laundering measures to be applied throughout the EU.
The conference, which ends today, discussed a series of measures on transparency of capital movements, possible sanctions against uncooperative countries, regulatory changes, and inter-union cooperation between police and administrations.
Organised by the President of the French National Assembly, Raymond Forni, the meeting was attended by representatives of all EU member states with the exception of Sweden and Finland. Delegates from EU candidate countries and the Russian Duma also attended as observers.
Meanwhile, it was revealed this week that the French parliamentary commission which has released scathing reports on money laundering activities and safeguards in the UK, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, is at last to turn the spotlight on the French financial sector with a final report due to be released in April.
