WKB Legal Alert | European Union AML package – AML regulation

Issues related to anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism remain at the centre of attention of European Union bodies. According to the Joint Declaration of the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on the Union’s legislative priorities for 2023 and 2024, AML and CTF are among the most important matters facing the Union’s legislature. There are ongoing legislative works at the European Union level on a consolidation of EU AML and CFT rules. The, so-called, ‘AML package’ consists of four legislative acts, at the core of which sits the proposed Regulation on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing. Its provisions are intended to replace the current substantive provisions of the Polish Act on Counteracting Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing.

WKB Legal Alert | Restricted public access to beneficial ownership registers

In Poland, access to the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (Centralny Rejestr Beneficjentów Rzeczywistych; further as the “CRBO”) was opened on 13 October 2019, on the basis of the Act of 1 March 2018 on the counteracting of money laundering and terrorist financing. Since then, the information recorded in the CRBO has been available to the public, without limits and free of charge. However, this could soon change as a result of the Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (further as the “CJEU”) of 22 November 2022.
