Deutsche Bundesregierung begrüßt Vorschlag einer EU-Geldwäschebehörde

In its answer to a minor question by the FDP parliamentary group, the Federal Government welcomes the EU Commission's plan to create a European money laundering authority. This could "make an important contribution to combating money laundering and terrorist financing in the EU". When asked what it thought of the proposal for a cash payment ceiling of 10,000 euros, the federal government pointed out that the examination of the legislative proposal had not yet been completed and that the threshold should not apply to payments outside commercial activities.
