Article 78 Transposition
Summary What does Article 78 of the Sixth anti-money laundering (AML 6) directive say?
This is the transposition article, setting out the deadlines by which Member States must convert the Directive into national law.
The general deadline is 10 July 2027, but the article carves out several exceptions for specific articles that carry either earlier or later implementation dates.
Member States are also required to notify the Commission and ensure any adopted measures reference this Directive.
Important points:
- Member States must bring national law into force to comply with this Directive by 10 July 2027 as the general deadline.
- Staggered deadlines apply to specific articles: Article 74 by 10 July 2025, Articles 11, 12, 13 and 15 by 10 July 2026, and Article 18 by 10 July 2029.
- Member States must communicate the text of the main national implementing measures to the Commission.
