The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism has published draft regulatory technical standards on cooperation between supervisors of groups of obliged entities operating across borders in the financial and non-financial sectors. The draft measures are intended to support consistent AML/CFT supervision where responsibilities are shared across Member States by clarifying the roles of home and host supervisors and setting out practical arrangements for day-to-day cooperation. The standards form part of a broader cooperation framework that also includes AML/CFT supervisory colleges and cooperation guidelines. They cover supervisory cooperation and communication channels, including arrangements that can accommodate integrated digital solutions while preserving flexibility. They also propose a simplified disclosure regime within the EU supervisory system, under which information exchanged may be shared with other system members without prior consent from the originating supervisor, subject to notification, and include provisions for home and host supervisors to carry out cross-border inquiries and coordinate activities through common approaches. A public hearing will be held on 28 May 2026 from 14:00 to 16:00 CET. The authority has identified that hearing as the channel for stakeholder input on the consultation and invited comments on the specific questions in section 5.2 of the consultation paper.
