Summary What does Article 7 of the ITS on FIU-to-FIU exchanges say?
This is an unusually brief article that serves a simple procedural purpose: directing Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) to follow a specific set of instructions when responding to requests for information.
It does not elaborate on the substance of those responses itself, but instead delegates the detail to Annex III of the regulation.
Article 7 sits logically alongside Article 6, which governs the sending of requests for information, making these two articles the paired framework for the request-response cycle between FIUs.
Important points:
- FIUs are required to follow the instructions in Annex III when sending a response to a request for information.
- The article contains no standalone substantive rules — all procedural detail is housed in Annex III.
- Article 7 operates as the counterpart to Article 6, together forming the complete request and response exchange process between FIUs.
Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
When sending a response to a request for information, FIUs shall follow the instructions provided in Annex III.
