The committee also considered information from a periodic assessment of whether circumstances continue to justify the application of special restrictive measures to persons and entities included on the General Inspector of Financial Information’s sanctions list, and discussed legal solutions aimed at introducing changes to improve preventive AML/CFT action. The Financial Security Committee acts as an advisory body within the national AML/CFT framework, including opining on the national risk assessment and the risk-reduction strategy and action plan, issuing recommendations and opinions on the use of special restrictive measures, and analysing and assessing AML/CFT legal solutions.
