Article 1: Subject matter

Georgios Pavlidis

Chapter 1 in The EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive and Regulation, 2026, pp 29-35 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter comments on Article 1 of the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (EU) 2024/1640, which sets the Directive's subject matter and scope. It frames the measures to be taken at national level for sectors exposed to money laundering and terrorist financing, defines requirements around beneficial ownership and senior management checks, and provides for Union- and national-level risk assessments, registers, supervision, and cooperation among competent authorities. The analysis explains the link to Articles 82–83 TFEU, the complementarity with the AML Regulation, and the allocation of tasks between FIUs, supervisors, and other authorities.
