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.
