European Commission opens infringement procedure against Member States

Header European Commission opens infringement procedures against 11 Member States.

Summary

The European Commission has opened infringement procedures against 11 Member States for failing to fully transpose the 6th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (EU) 2024/1640 by the 10 July 2025 deadline to ensure access to beneficial ownership information.

07/10/2025

The European Commission has opened infringement procedures against Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Croatia, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden. These Member States have not fully notified the national transposition of the 6th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (EU) 2024/1640.   

Member States had until 10 July 2025 to guarantee access to information on the beneficial owners of legal entities, trusts or similar structures. As the 11 Member States have not yet done so, they now have two months to complete their transposition and report their measures.
