Parliament objects to the Commission delegated regulation that adds ten countries to the EU list of high-risk third countries and removes eight, including Gibraltar. It calls on the Commission to submit a new act that keeps Gibraltar on the list.

Key points

  1. Objects to the Commission delegated regulation of 10 June 2025 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675.
  2. Considers that the regulation positively addresses risks for Algeria, Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal and Venezuela.
  3. Finds that the regulation does not properly address threats from Gibraltar, its compliance with international standards, or its government's measures against illicit financial activities.
  4. Notes that the regulation does not take into account the Spanish negotiating position on the decolonisation of Gibraltar.
  5. Calls on the Commission to submit a new delegated act that does not delete Gibraltar from the list in the Annex to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675.

Who is affected

  • Gibraltar: would remain on the EU list of high-risk third countries if Parliament's objection stands.
  • The ten countries added to the list (Algeria, Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal, Venezuela) are positively addressed.
