Summary What does Article 5 of the ITS on AMLA reporting to the EPPO say?
This article sets out the technical and procedural requirements for how AMLA must transmit the completed reporting template and any accompanying information to the EPPO.
It establishes secure electronic communication as the standard method, while also providing a limited fallback option for exceptional circumstances.
This article complements Article 3, which governs the content and format of the reporting template itself, by addressing the mechanics of its delivery.
Important points:
- AMLA is required to submit reporting templates and additional information to the EPPO through a secure electronic communication channel that ensures confidentiality and integrity.
- A fallback submission method (paper form or electronic data carrier) is available only in exceptional circumstances and requires the EPPO's acceptance.
- Regardless of the method used, confidentiality and integrity of the submitted information must always be maintained.
