Artikel 66 Omröstningsbestämmelser för direktionen

Summary What does Article 66 of the Anti-money laundering authority regulation (AMLAR) say?

This article sets out the voting rules for the Executive Board of the Authority.

It establishes a simple majority system, gives the Chair (or Vice-Chair standing in for the Chair) a casting vote in the event of a tie, and grants the Commission representative voting rights on a specific subset of matters tied to Article 64(4).

It also delegates the finer details of voting arrangements to the Executive Board's own rules of procedure.

Important points:

The Executive Board decides by simple majority, with each member holding one vote and the Chair holding a casting vote in a tie.
The Commission representative has voting rights, but only on matters falling under Article 64(4), points (a) to (l).
The Executive Board is required to establish detailed voting arrangements, including when a member may act on behalf of another, in its rules of procedure.
