Nicosia, Cyprus. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has informed regulated entities of two public consultations launched by the European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA), urging stakeholders to contribute to new EU anti-money laundering rules.
The consultations cover standards for reporting suspicious transactions and assessing money laundering and terrorist financing risks among non-financial sector obliged entities.
Suspicious transaction reporting standards
The first consultation concerns draft Implementing Technical Standards under Article 69(3) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624. The standards set out the format for reporting suspicious transactions and submitting transaction records.
CySEC said the draft standards, interpretative note, annexes and consultation response form are available on AMLA’s website. Comments will be accepted until September 20, 2026.
AMLA will hold a public hearing on September 9, 2026, from 10am to 12pm CEST. Registration is available through the consultation webpage.
Risk assessment standards for non-financial entities
The second consultation concerns draft Regulatory Technical Standards under Article 40(2) of Directive (EU) 2024/1640, also known as AMLD 6.
The draft standards address the assessment of inherent and residual money laundering and terrorist financing risk profiles of obliged entities in the non-financial sector.
The draft RTS, Annexes I and II, and the consultation response form are available on AMLA’s website. Comments must be submitted by September 27, 2026.
A second public hearing is scheduled for September 10, 2026, from 10am to 12pm CEST, with registration available through the consultation webpage.
CySEC call to stakeholders
CySEC directed regulated entities to AMLA’s accompanying press release, factsheet and sector-specific surveys.
While both consultations are open to all stakeholders, CySEC highlighted the RTS consultation because it directly concerns non-financial sector obliged entities, including Administrative Service Providers and crowdfunding service providers supervised by the commission.
AMLA said input from affected businesses and professionals is essential to shaping its final approach. CySEC urged regulated entities to respond to the substantive consultation papers.
