Council of Europe’s Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL) published a follow-up report on Poland’s AML/CFT framework, finding that safeguards against the abuse of non-profit organisations for terrorist financing have strengthened but that shortcomings remain, including on the treatment of new technologies. Progress was assessed as addressing technical compliance deficiencies related to Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 8 on non-profit organisations to a large extent and partly improving compliance with Recommendation 15 on new technologies following enactment of European Union regulations on markets in crypto assets and the travel rule for transfers of certain crypto-assets. Across the 40 FATF recommendations, Poland is rated compliant on three, largely compliant on 24 and partially compliant on 13, with none assessed as non-compliant. MONEYVAL decided to keep Poland under its enhanced follow-up procedure and expects the country to report back on overall AML/CFT progress in a year.
