2. Where Member States identify pursuant to Article 8(4), point (c), of Directive (EU) 2024/1640 categories of corporate entities that are exposed to higher money laundering and terrorist financing risks, including based on the sectors in which they operate, they shall inform the Commission thereof. By 10 July 2029, the Commission shall assess whether the risks associated with those categories of legal entities are relevant for the internal market and, where it concludes that a lower threshold is appropriate to mitigate those risks, adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 85 to amend this Regulation by identifying:
|
(a)
|
the categories of corporate entities that are associated with higher money laundering and terrorist financing risks and for which a lower threshold shall apply;
|
|
(b)
|
the related thresholds.
|
The lower threshold referred to in the first subparagraph shall be set at a maximum of 15 % of ownership interest in the corporate entity, unless the Commission concludes, on the basis of risk, that a higher threshold would be more proportionate, which shall in any case be set at less than 25 %.
