answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2014 answer text <p>The 4<sup>th</sup> EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive transposes the global standards on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism finance set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2012. These standards further embed the risk-based approach, which allow obliged entities, including companies, to adopt anti-money laundering checks which are best suited to the risk they face in their everyday business. This allows for more proportionate and balanced anti-money laundering regimes across the EU including in the UK.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Directive is currently in its last stage of negotiations. The UK government is committed to publishing an impact assessment and to consulting on the implementation of the Directive before transposing its new requirements into UK legislation, in line with better regulation principles. This timing is necessary to ensure that any Impact Assessment accurately reflects any changes to the draft legislation agreed in negotiations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 30/10/2014 16:46:41 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
