Recital 67

(67) Effective cooperation and information exchange between FIUs and supervisors is of crucial importance for the integrity and stability of the financial system. It ensures a comprehensive and consistent approach to preventing and combating money laundering, its predicate offences and terrorist financing, enhances the effectiveness of the Union AML/CFT regime and safeguards the economy from the threats posed by illicit financial activities. Information in the possession of FIUs pertaining to, for example, the quality and quantity of suspicious transaction reports submitted by obliged entities, the quality and timeliness of obliged entities’ responses to requests for information by the FIUs, and information on money laundering, its predicate offences and terrorist financing typologies, trends and methods can help supervisors identify areas where risks are higher or where compliance is weak and thereby provide them with an insight into whether supervision needs to be strengthened in relation to specific obliged entities or sectors. To that end, FIUs should provide supervisors, either spontaneously or upon request, with certain types of information that could be relevant for the purposes of supervision.
