Article 2: Definitions

Georgios Pavlidis

Chapter 2 in The EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive and Regulation, 2026, pp 36-44 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter comments on Article 2 of the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (EU) 2024/1640, which lays down core definitions for its application, including ‘financial supervisor’, ‘non-financial supervisor’, ‘obliged entities’, ‘home/host Member State’, ‘AML/CFT supervisory college’, and related terms. The commentary traces developments from prior directives, alignment with FATF usage, and points of divergence that may affect national transposition. It highlights interpretation issues around ‘non-financial sector’, the scope of ‘customs authorities’, and the operational meaning of ‘draft national measure’, with a view to ensuring consistent application across Member States.
