Artikel 82 Auskunftsersuchen an die EUStA
Summary What does Article 82 of the Anti-money laundering regulation (AMLR) say?
This short article is the counterpart to Article 81, which governs how FIUs report to and cooperate with the EPPO.
Here, the obligation runs in the other direction: it places a duty on the EPPO to respond to information requests made by FIUs.
The article also carves out a limited exception allowing the EPPO to withhold or delay information where doing so would jeopardise an ongoing investigation, but crucially requires the EPPO to communicate that decision and its reasons back to the requesting FIU.
Important points:
- The EPPO is required to respond without undue delay to reasoned requests for information from FIUs, where that information is needed for the FIU to carry out its functions.
- The EPPO may postpone or refuse to provide information if doing so would be likely to prejudice the conduct or confidentiality of an ongoing investigation.
- In cases of postponement or refusal, the EPPO must communicate its decision and the reasons for it to the requesting FIU in a timely manner.
Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
Die EUStA beantwortet begründete Auskunftsersuchen einer zentralen Meldestelle unverzüglich, wenn diese Informationen für die Wahrnehmung der Aufgaben der zentralen Meldestelle gemäß Kapitel III der Richtlinie (EU) 2024/1640 erforderlich sind.
Die EUStA kann die Bereitstellung der in Absatz 1 gennannten Informationen aufschieben oder ablehnen, wenn es wahrscheinlich ist, dass diese Bereitstellung den ordnungsgemäßen Ablauf und die Vertraulichkeit einer laufenden Untersuchung beeinträchtigen würde. Die EUStA teilt der ersuchenden zentralen Meldestelle unter Angabe der Gründe rechtzeitig mit, ob die Bereitstellung solcher Informationen aufgeschoben oder abgelehnt wird.
