Recital 6

AMLD6
DIRECTIVE (EU) 2024/1640 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 31 May 2024 on the mechanisms to be put in place by Member States for the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, amending Directive(EU) 2019/1937, and amending and repealing Directive (EU) 2015/849 (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(6) Specific money laundering and terrorist financing threats, risks and vulnerabilities affecting certain economic sectors at national level diminish the ability of Member States to contribute to the integrity and soundness of the Union financial system. As such, it is appropriate to allow Member States, upon identification of such sectors and specific risks, to decide to apply AML/CFT requirements to additional sectors than those covered by Regulation (EU) 2024/1624. With a view to preserving the effectiveness of the internal market and the Union AML/CFT system, the Commission should be able, with the support of AMLA, to assess whether the intended application by Member States of AML/CFT requirements to additional sectors is justified. In cases where the best interests of the Union would be achieved by taking action at Union level as regards specific sectors, the Commission should inform the Member State intending to apply the AML/CFT requirements to those sectors that it intends to take action at Union level instead and the Member State should abstain from taking the intended national measures, unless those measures are intended to address an urgent risk.
