Artikel 14 Rapportering av överträdelser och skydd för personer som rapporterar om överträdelser

Summary What does Article 14 of the Anti-money laundering regulation (AMLR) say?

This article connects the whistleblowing framework established under the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive (2019/1937) to the AML/CFT context.

It extends that directive's protections to anyone reporting breaches of this Regulation, the associated funds transfer regulation, or any supervisory act.

It then places a practical obligation on obliged entities to set up internal reporting channels in line with that directive, while carving out a narrow exemption for sole operators.

Important points:

Establish internal reporting channels compliant with Directive (EU) 2019/1937 to allow for the reporting of breaches.
Persons who report breaches of this Regulation or related acts are protected under the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive.
This obligation to establish internal channels does not apply where the obliged entity is a natural person or a legal person whose activities are carried out by one natural person only.
