SECTION 1 General provisions

Article 44

Member States shall ensure that supervisors cooperate with each other to the greatest extent possible, regardless of their respective nature or status. Such cooperation may include conducting, within the powers of the requested supervisor, inquiries on behalf of a requesting supervisor, and the subsequent exchange of the information obtained through such inquiries, or facilitating the conduct of such inquiries by the requesting supervisor.

Article 48

Supervisors, including AMLA, shall inform each other of instances in which the law of a third country does not permit the implementation of the policies, procedures and controls required under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624. In such cases, coordinated actions may be taken by supervisors to pursue a solution. In assessing which third countries do not permit the implementation of the policies, procedures and controls required under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624, supervisors shall take into account any legal constraints that may hinder proper implementation of those policies, procedures and controls, including professional secrecy, an insufficient level of data protection and other constraints limiting the exchange of information that may be relevant for that purpose.
