The Minister of Finance of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia

Dr. Marcus Optendrenk MdL

kindly invites you to the debate:

 

 

Combating financial crime:

Effective action against money laundering, tax evasion and terrorist financing through effective cooperation between authorities

 

 

Monday, 18 September 2023, 6:30 pm (entry 6:00 pm)

 

Representation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to the EU, Rue Montoyer 47, Brussels

 

The EU and member states are stepping up the fight against international financial crime. In addition to strengthening the regulatory framework, an effective fight against money laundering, tax evasion and the like requires effective interlinking of regional, national and EU authorities (taking into account Europol and the European Public Prosecutor's Office). How this can be achieved even more efficiently in the future will be discussed among high-level experts. In this context, the role of the future EU anti-money laundering authority AMLA and forms of cooperation between administrative and law enforcement activities at the national level will also be examined. Examples of the latter are, for example, the federal office planned in Germany or the state office for combating financial crime currently being established in North Rhine-Westphalia.
