Article 84 Demandes d’informations adressées à l’OLAF
Summary What does Article 84 of the Anti-money laundering regulation (AMLR) say?
This brief article is the mirror counterpart to Article 83, which governs the obligations of FIUs toward OLAF.
Here, the direction is reversed: Article 84 sets out OLAF's obligations when an FIU requests information from it.
OLAF must respond to such requests in a timely manner, but is permitted to withhold or delay that response if doing so would negatively impact an ongoing investigation, provided it communicates this refusal or postponement to the FIU along with its reasons.
Important points:
- OLAF is required to respond in a timely manner to reasoned requests for information from an FIU, where that information is necessary for the FIU's functions.
- OLAF may postpone or refuse to provide information if it would negatively impact an ongoing investigation.
- OLAF must communicate any postponement or refusal to the requesting FIU, including the reasons for it.

L’OLAF répond en temps utile aux demandes d’informations motivées formulées par une CRF lorsque ces informations sont nécessaires à l’exercice des fonctions de la CRF au titre du chapitre III de la directive (UE) 2024/1640.
L’OLAF peut reporter ou refuser la communication des informations visées au paragraphe 1 lorsque leur communication est susceptible d’avoir une incidence négative sur une enquête en cours. L’OLAF communique ce report ou ce refus en temps utile à la CRF à l’origine de la demande, y compris les raisons d’un tel report ou refus.
