Article 1: Subject matter

Georgios Pavlidis

Chapter 81 in The EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive and Regulation, 2026, pp 395-397 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter comments on Article 1 of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (EU) 2024/1624, which defines its subject matter and scope. It introduces the directly applicable preventive framework for obliged entities, including customer due diligence obligations, beneficial ownership transparency, and restrictions on anonymous instruments. The commentary explains how the Regulation complements AMLD6 by harmonising preventive measures across Member States and ensuring consistency with the work of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) and FATF standards.
