Operative part of the judgment

Article 2(1)(3)(a) of Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing, amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directive 2006/70/EC,
must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘external accountants’, within the meaning of that provision, refers to natural or legal persons whose professional activity consists in independently providing accounting services, such as the preparation, keeping or auditing of accounts, to third parties. By contrast, a legal person that keeps the accounts of companies related to it, with a view to pooling resources, does not fall within the scope of that concept.

Questions referred







1.


Must Article 32 of Council Directive (EU) 2020/262 (2) (Acquisition by a private individual) be interpreted as precluding a national interpretation according to which ‘own use’ is excluded, irrespective of the quantity transported, in the event of the acquisition of tobacco products for the purpose of passing them on to another person, even if the passing on is done free of charge?










2.


If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative,
Must Article 32 of Directive (EU) 2020/262 be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘own use’, taking into account the other criteria, in particular the quantity criterion, includes gifts to close relatives but not gifts to other persons?
