Article 82 Demandes d’informations adressées au Parquet européen
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.

Le Parquet européen peut reporter ou refuser la communication des informations visées au paragraphe 1 lorsque leur communication est susceptible de porter atteinte au bon déroulement et à la confidentialité d’une enquête en cours. Le Parquet européen communique en temps utile à la CRF à l’origine de la demande le report ou le refus de la transmission des informations demandées, y compris les raisons d’un tel report ou refus.
