Article 72 Comité

Summary What does Article 72 of the Sixth anti-money laundering (AML 6) directive say?

This is a short procedural article that deals with the governance mechanism supporting the Commission's work under this Directive.

It establishes that the Commission will be assisted by an existing committee — the Committee on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing — which was created under a separate regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1113).

The article also anchors the committee's working procedures to the standard EU comitology framework set out in Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, specifically the examination procedure under Article 5 of that regulation.

Important points:

The Commission is assisted by the Committee on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, established under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, not created anew by this Directive.
The committee operates as a comitology committee under Regulation (EU) No 182/2011, meaning it follows standard EU procedural rules for Commission implementing acts.
The examination procedure under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 applies when reference is made to this article.
