Article 7 Entry into force


This is a draft act

This text has been parsed from the AMLA final report draft as published on 3 July 2026. While we run a suite of validations, the automated parsing can result in errors. Also, before it is finally adopted by the Commission, its wording, numbering and references may change, and entire articles might be removed or added.

Summary What does Article 7 of the ITS on FIU reporting to the EPPO say?

This is the closing article of the Regulation, covering its entry into force, application dates, and binding nature.

It establishes a staggered timeline for when the rules become operational, with the bulk of the Regulation applying from July 2027, but carving out a one-year extension specifically for the machine-readable submission requirement set out in Article 3(2), which does not apply until July 2028.

Important points:

  • The Regulation applies across all Member States from 10 July 2027.
  • Submit reporting templates in machine-readable format from 10 July 2028 — FIUs have an additional year to comply with this specific requirement under Article 3(2).
  • The Regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States without the need for national implementing legislation.
