SUMMARY:MENA Regional Conference on Dealing with Virtual Assets and AML/CFT
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][vc_column_text]\n21 countries of MENA region convene to Amman for Virtual Assets conference\n  \nMore than 120 participants from the 21 countries of the MENA region on Tuesday 13 December 2022 convened to Amman to participate in the Regional Conference on “Dealing with Virtual Assets and AML/CFT”. \nCo-organised by the EU Global Facility on Anti Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) and the Jordanian National Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Committee (NAMLCTFC)\, with the participation of the Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force (MENAFATF)\, the three-day event hosted by Jordan marks the first high-level event in the field of virtual assets (VAs) in the region. \nHis Excellency Dr. Adel Al Sharkas\, Governor of CBJ and Chairman of the AML/CTF National Committee\, emphasised the importance of this conference at the regional level\, as the challenges and opportunities are similar and shared among the countries of the region. \n“It is essential to draw on the experiences that will be shared at this conference\, which will provide an opportunity to build on countries’ strengths\, build capacity and upgrade the competencies of national agencies\, and update them on the latest developments in international standards issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) associated with activities related to VAs and VA service providers\, and risk analysis”.  \nHe added that this conference will contribute to strengthening the capacity to conduct investigations\, develop skills\, enhance knowledge and enhance expertise\, in regards of VAs in order to developing best practices in the field. H.E concluded with thanking the EU Global Facility\, the French Embassy\, the experts and the countries representatives for their presence in this conference and expressed his best wishes to all. \nSpeaking at the opening ceremony\, Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison\, French Ambassador to Jordan\, underlined the need to put in place an adequate legal framework to identify criminal assets\, including virtual assets\, as early as possible in the investigation in order to maximise the possibilities of effecting a seizure. He also referred to the decisive action of the French Asset Recovery Agency (AGRASC) “whose recoveries have doubled between 2020 and 2021 to reach 480 million euros. It is important that this activity benefits the public community”. \nThe event\, which will witness the intervention of more than 20 experts from the Americas\, Europe and the Arab world\, seeks to tackle the causes and existence of AMLCFT risks\, and promote cooperation and compliance with the global standards and cooperation in the field of Vas. Ultimately\, it seeks to guide respective countries\, their competent authorities\, and the private sector\, on shaping the strategic direction of dealing with VAs\, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)\, and understanding requirements of this direction\, i.e. banning or regulating VAs. \n“This event is a recognition of the crucial importance of exchanging and sharing best practices between countries from the same region\, especially on such an innovative and new topic\,” said EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte\, thanking all participants for their active participation and interest in the topic. \n???? VAs represent an attractive economic opportunity for jurisdictions\, but bring along a number of challenges and risks that must be understood and managed for their safe integration within a country’s economy. Amongst other things\, are financial crime risks (for example the abuse of VAs to evade sanctions\, launder money or finance terrorism)\, as well as the potential impact on the wider ecosystem. For instance\, banks might need to put in place increased/tailored monitoring to bank these operators\, and regulators might need to adapt their regulatory and supervisory approaches to target the specific risks brought about by VA operators\, whilst guaranteeing a rapid regulatory process and a smooth supervision experience (to maintain a competitive edge against other jurisdictions).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default”

In this way\, it will defend itself against the influence of organised crime on its institutions and can protect the interests of the state and the nation.” \nThe regional event aims to allow participants to exchange and further their expertise on FATF standards on availability and accessibility of beneficial ownership information\, the assessment of money laundering and terrorism financing risks associated with the misuse of legal persons and arrangements in the GAFILAT region\, the design and implementation of mitigation measures as well as emerging trends and specific topics related to the ever increasing importance of beneficial ownership transparency throughout jurisdictions across the world. \nIn his welcoming remarks\, EU GF Team Leader David Hotte\, thanked the GAFILAT and Panamanian authorities for their support\, noting: “we are particularly happy to see such a high level of attendance in this first regional conference the EU Global Facility is organising in Latin America. Panama has been a trusted partner country of the project\, where we have delivered 10 activities since our first mission back in October 2021.” \n“Support to partner countries’ Beneficial Ownership frameworks is a key pillar of the EU GF’s work around the globe. So far\, we have assisted more than 11 jurisdictions in Africa\, Asia\, Latin America and Europe on BO at a bilateral level while reaching almost 70 countries through regional conferences.” \nFor his part\, Executive Director of GAFILAT\, Esteban Fullin\, stated: “making Beneficial Ownership information available is key to having a successful AML/CFT system\, GAFILAT is committed to mitigate any possible misuse of corporate vehicles to allow money launderers and criminal organisations to profit their illicit gains. Having the chance to share experiences and discuss good practices on how to tackle this issue is key to implement an effective system.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”center” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”nectarslider_style” images=”4321\,4355\,4334\,4349\,4337\,4364\,4366″ image_loading=”default” bullet_navigation_style=”see_through” onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”120px”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”See more photos” url=”https://dev.global-amlcft.eu/images-videos/”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The EU Global Facility’s multistakeholder strategy to (i) enhance BO disclosure regimes and their effectiveness\, and (ii) increase national\, regional and international cooperation and networks on AML/CFT;\n???? The business and technical requirements and operational aspects to consider when setting up a beneficial ownership registry;\n???? The possible mechanisms aimed\, during the different phases of a BO Register implementation\, at ensuring that the beneficial ownership information is accurate and up to date as well as timely accessible.\n\nFollowing these sessions\, the event included an open discussion where practical case studies were discussed to highlight some of the points discussed in the morning. These included: \n\n\n\n-The steps and elements to consider when designing and implementing a BOR (stakeholder engagement\, procurement\, monitoring)\n-What are the control and verification mechanisms that can be implemented\, and at what stage of the BOR implementation\n-Exchange of country experiences from North Macedonia\, Latvia\, Ghana\, Kenya.\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
