Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a directive requiring member states to set up mechanisms to prevent the use of the financial system for money laundering or terrorist financing.¶¶ The directive would amend Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and amend and repeal Directive (EU) 2015/849. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.¶ The position corresponds to the final legislative act, Directive (EU) 2024/1640, after agreement between Parliament and the Council.¶
