Kri&scaron;jānis Kariņ&scaron;, EPP, LV Judith Sargentini, Greens/EFA, rapporteurs Directive on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing. The Directive aims to protect the financial system against money laundering and terrorist financing through measures on prevention, investigation, and detention. Adding to the Commission proposal, the Parliament inter alia successfully negotiated that the Fourth Anti Money Laundering Directive obliges member states to maintain central registers listing information on the ultimate beneficial owners of corporate and other legal entities, as well as trusts. The central registers would be accessible to the competent authorities and their financial intelligence units, to "obliged entities" (such as banks conducting their "customer due diligence" duties), and also to the public, whose access may be subject to online registration of the person and to the payment of a fee to cover administrative costs. The Parliament furthermore inserted several provisions in the amended text to protect personal data. (4 shots)

Peter Simon, (S&amp;D, DE) Timothy Kirkhope, (ECR, UK), rapporteurs Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on information accompanying transfers of funds. The Regulation aims to improve traceability of payments and prevent and detect money laundering and terrorist financing when transferring funds. The text reflects the Parliament's demand that before transferring the funds, the payment service provider of the payer shall verify both the accuracy and the completeness of the information relating to the payer and the payee. (4 shots)

Tadeusz Zwiefka, (EPP PL) Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings. The Regulation is revising Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings to improve the efficiency of the European framework for resolving cross-border insolvency cases in view of ensuring a smooth functioning of the internal market and its resilience in economic crises. The Regulation inter alia extends the scope of main proceedings to include rescue and recovery proceedings, provides for the creation of an EU-wide system of web-based insolvency registers, the possibility of avoiding the opening of multiple proceedings, and rules dealing with the insolvency of groups of companies. The Parliament inter alia added a requirement to look at the 'establishment' at least three months prior to the request to open main insolvency proceedings, as well as provisions on group coordination proceedings. It also ensured that safeguards were introduced against fraudulent or abusive forum shopping via a 'look-back' test in relation to a debtor's centre of main interest (COMI). (2 shots)
