Guideline 10: Procedures for requesting and providing mutual assistance

10.1 Permanent members and observers to the extent foreseen in their terms of participation annexed to the AML/CFT cooperation agreement may request mutual assistance, including supervisory cooperation and the exchange of information, from other permanent members and, to the extent foreseen in the terms of participation annexed to the AML/CFT cooperation agreement, observers. 10.2 The requesting permanent member should submit its request in writing to the other permanent members (or observers) and send a copy of that request to the lead supervisor within 3 working days of the day that the requesting permanent member (or observer) sent the request.

10.3 The request should set out which information or type of mutual assistance is requested and the reason for the request. In exceptional circumstances where an oral request is made, it should be followed up with a written confirmation as soon as practicable.

10.4 When receiving a request for mutual assistance from a permanent member or an observer, the requested permanent member should provide the assistance required, including information about its ML/TF risk assessment, without undue delay and in a comprehensive fashion. Should the requested permanent member refuse to act on a request for assistance, it should explain its reasons for so doing and, wherever possible, highlight alternative ways to obtain the assistance requested.

10.5 Where information is not available in the language specified in the written cooperation and information-sharing agreement, the requested member should consider providing a summary in the language of the college.
