Recital 95

AMLD6
DIRECTIVE (EU) 2024/1640 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 31 May 2024 on the mechanisms to be put in place by Member States for the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, amending Directive(EU) 2019/1937, and amending and repealing Directive (EU) 2015/849 (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(95) In areas that are not harmonised at Union level, Member States can adopt national measures, even when those measures constitute restrictions to the freedoms of the internal market. This is the case, for example, of measures taken to regulate the provision of gambling services, particularly when those activities are carried out online, without any infrastructure in the Member State. However, to be compatible with Union law, such measures need to attain a general interest, be non-discriminatory and suitable for achieving that objective, and must not go beyond what is strictly necessary to achieve it. Where Member States subject the provision of services that are regulated under the Union AML/CFT framework to specific authorisation requirements, such as the obtention of a licence, they should also be responsible for the supervision of those services. The requirement to supervise those services does not prejudge the conclusions that the Court of Justice might draw on the compatibility of national measures with Union law.
