Insurance Europe responded to the EBA’s consultation on EU anti-money laundering Regulatory Technical Standards, supporting a harmonized, data-driven risk assessment but urging proportionality. They advocate for minimal, targeted data collection, reasonable transition periods, and revised data points to ease burdens, particularly for low-risk products. The federation opposes excessive customer data requirements, supports remote identification, and proposes event-driven updates for low-risk life insurance and simplified due diligence for pensions and pure risk policies. Insurance Europe commits to collaborating for an effective, risk-based AML/CFT framework.

The EBA launched a consultation on four draft Regulatory Technical Standards for the EU's new AML/CFT regime, running until June 6, 2025. The RTSs cover AMLA's supervision criteria, ML/TF risk assessment methodology, customer due diligence requirements, and sanctions/administrative measures. These standards aim to harmonize and strengthen AML/CFT compliance across the EU.
