Recital 6

(6) Given the fact that entities that are established in third countries that have strategic deficiencies in their national anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing regimes (‘high-risk third countries’), as referred to in Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), or in third countries listed in Annex I to the Council conclusions on the revised EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes, are subject to a less stringent regulatory environment, their operations might increase the risk, including due to increased counterparty credit risk and legal risk, to the financial stability of the Union. Consequently, such entities should not be eligible to be considered in the framework of intragroup transactions.
