Question for written answer E-002564/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Ralf Seekatz (PPE), Lídia Pereira (PPE)
Article 2(6) of Regulation 2024/1624 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2024 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing[1](the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation, AMLR) clarifies that the activity of account information services (AIS) is not within the scope of the regulation.
In our understanding of the text, the activity of AIS is outside the scope of the regulation, regardless of whether the entity in question exclusively provides AIS or also offers other regulated services.
Can the Commission confirm the interpretation that AIS as an activity is outside the scope of the AMLR, even if it is provided by financial institutions whose additional and regulated activities are otherwise within the scope of the AMLR?
