The FIAU would like to remind all subject persons that today, 8 May 2026, is the deadline to submit feedback to AMLA – The EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority on two important public consultations currently underway.
AMLA is consulting on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) that will play a key role in shaping the future application of the EU AML/CFT framework across both the financial and non‑financial sectors. AMLA has also particularly encouraged participation from the non-financial sector to ensure a comprehensive range of perspectives.
Open Consultations Closing Today
Stakeholders are invited to provide comments on the following draft RTS:
- Criteria for identifying business relationships, occasional and linked transactions
This draft RTS outlines the criteria used to distinguish between business relationships, occasional transactions, and linked transactions, which is a fundamental step for determining when customer due diligence (CDD) measures are required.

- Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
This draft RTS specifies how obliged entities should apply CDD requirements under the new Anti‑Money Laundering Regulation, including the information and documentation to be collected, and the application of a risk‑based approach.

Deadline
Both consultations close today at 23:59 (CEST). Contributions received after this time will not be considered.
All contributions will play an important role in ensuring that the final standards are coherent, consistent, and effective across all obliged entities within the European Union.
