The European Commission decided on 9 February 2004 to send formal requests to Italy, Portugal, Greece, Sweden, Luxembourg and France to implement the Second Anti-Money Laundering Directive (97/2001/EC). None of these Member States has yet notified the Commission of their measures to write the Directive into national law. The Commission's requests will take the form of reasoned opinions, the second stage of infringement procedures under Article 226 of the Treaty. In the absence of a satisfactory response to the reasoned opinions, the Commission may decide to refer the Member States in question to the European Court of Justice. |
