Article 86 Committee procedure

Summary What does Article 86 of the Anti-money laundering regulation (AMLR) say?

This is a short procedural article that establishes the committee arrangement supporting the Commission in its work under this regulation.

It designates an existing committee — the Committee on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, already established under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 — to assist the Commission, and confirms that this committee operates under the standard EU comitology rules set out in Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.

The reference to Article 5 of that regulation means the examination procedure applies, which is the standard mechanism for implementing acts of general scope.

Important points:

The Commission is assisted by the Committee on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing when exercising its functions under this regulation.
This committee was established by Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, meaning it is a pre-existing body being carried across rather than a newly created one.
The committee operates under the examination procedure as defined in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.
