Recital 14

(14) In addition, the Commission in its communication of 7 May 2020 on an Action Plan for a comprehensive Union policy on preventing money laundering and terrorist financing identified six priority areas for urgent action to improve the Union’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regime, including the establishment of a coherent regulatory framework for that regime in the Union to obtain more detailed and harmonised rules, in particular to address the implications of technological innovation and developments in international standards and to avoid diverging implementation of existing rules. Work at international level suggests a need to expand the scope of sectors or entities covered by that regime and to assess how it should apply to crypto-asset service providers not covered so far.
