Artikel 78 Zurverfügungstellung von Aufzeichnungen an die zuständigen Behörden


Summary What does Article 78 of the Anti-money laundering regulation (AMLR) say?

This brief but operationally important article requires obliged entities to maintain systems capable of responding fully and speedily to enquiries from their FIU or other competent authorities.

It connects closely to the broader record-keeping obligations in the regulation, effectively ensuring that the data retained under those obligations can actually be retrieved and communicated when authorities need it.

The focus is on the practical infrastructure side: having the right systems in place to answer questions about whether a business relationship with a specific person exists or has existed.

Important points:

  • Implement systems that can respond fully and speedily to authority enquiries about business relationships.
  • The lookback window for these enquiries covers a five-year period prior to the enquiry being made.
  • All responses must be made through secure channels and in a manner that ensures full confidentiality of the enquiries.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Verpflichtete verfügen über Systeme, die es ihnen ermöglichen, über sichere Kommunikationskanäle und auf eine Art und Weise, die die vertrauliche Behandlung der Anfragen voll und ganz sicherstellt, im Einklang mit nationalem Recht auf Anfragen ihrer zentralen Meldestelle oder anderer zuständiger Behörden vollumfänglich und rasch Auskunft darüber zu erteilen, ob sie mit bestimmten Personen eine Geschäftsbeziehung unterhalten oder während eines Zeitraums von fünf Jahren vor der Anfrage unterhalten haben, und welcher Art diese Geschäftsbeziehung ist.
