The EU Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) has launched a consultation on draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) under Article 46(4) of Directive (EU) 2024/1640 (MLD 6). The draft RTS specify the respective duties of home and host supervisors of cross-border groups of obliged entities operating in the financial and non-financial sectors, and the modalities of cooperation between them.

Specific provisions in the draft RTS include:

• Information exchange, including obligations to share information on the supervisor's own initiative and upon request, with specific content requirements.
• Inquiries, setting out procedures for conducting or facilitating cross-border supervisory inquiries, including roles, timelines and post-inquiry exchanges.
• Common approaches, enabling supervisors to, where necessary, agree on coordinated or joint supervisory activities.

AMLA will hold a public hearing on 28 May for stakeholder input on the consultation.
