Today, we officially kickstart our technical assistance activities with #Argentina 🇦🇷 after a successful coordination meeting!
Following a request for technical assistance from the country, the EU Global Facility on 11 August 2022 held formal discussions with representatives of various structures of Buenos Aires responsible for the compliance with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 8 on NPOs
The EU Global Facility’s engagement and cooperation with Argentina will also cover issues such as supervision of financial and DNFSP and support to the FIU, improving effectiveness of financial investigation and criminal justice system, beneficial ownership and virtual assets.
“We have agreed to reactivate our technical assistance to Argentina and to begin as soon as possible with activities related to Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 8,” noted EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte, expressing his keenness on expanding the project’s geographic scope to more Latin American countries.
This project is funded by the European Union.
