WRITTEN QUESTION E-1362/02 by Gerhard Schmid (PSE) to the Commission. FATF meeting held in New Zealand on 19/20 November 2001.

blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), has passed legislation in
December 2001 which prohibits the issue of new bearer pass books and which provides for existing bearer
pass books to be converted into named savings accounts upon the first presentation of the pass book at a
banking institution. There is a good chance that the FATF will de-list Hungary at its next meeting in June
2002.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1362/02

by Gerhard Schmid (PSE) to the Commission

(14 May 2002)

Subject: FATF meeting held in New Zealand on 19/20 November 2001

Why did the Commission not attend the eighth meeting of the Financial Action Task Force on Money
Laundering Typologies, which was held on 19/20 November 2001 in Wellington, New Zealand, although
it is a member of the FATF?

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(19 June 2002)

The Commission attaches great importance to its membership of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)
and endeavours to take an active part in all FATF meetings. At the same time resource constraints and
pressure of work very occasionally prevent the Commission from participating at certain meetings.

Such was the case for the meeting in New Zealand in November 2001.

The annual FATF typologies exercise brings together mainly experts from the law enforcement and
regulatory authorities of the member countries. It serves as a forum for the exchange of experience and
expertise between the authorities concerned with the day-to-day practice of anti-money laundering efforts.

The Commission does not have specific money laundering cases on which to report. It nevertheless
remains very interested in the topics covered and the trends reported by FATF members. As an FATF
member it has access to and has studied all the detailed documentation produced prior to the meeting.

The final typologies report itself is now a public document and is available on the FATF website at
http://www.fatf-gafi.org.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1368/02

by Concepció Ferrer (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(14 May 2002)

Subject: Consideration of the shortcomings of the ‘Everything But Arms’ initiative

An Oxfam International report claims that the EU is one of the industrialised economies operating the
highest barriers (cid:1) this despite the Commission’s recent ‘Everything But Arms’ initiative, which offers the
least developed countries comprehensive market access on a duty-free and quota-free basis.

Does the Commission intend to examine the actual shortcomings of this initiative, with a view to making
access to the EU market a reality for the least developed countries and thus allowing them to reap the full
benefits of trade?
