10.4. Application of other supervisory measures

Competent authorities responsible for the supervision of cross-border groups and their entities should discuss and coordinate, where possible, application of all supervisory and early intervention measures to the group and/or its material entities to ensure that the most appropriate measures are consistently applied to the identified vulnerabilities, taking into account the group dimension, including inter-dependencies and intra-group arrangements as discussed above.

Competent authorities responsible for the prudential supervision of entities of a cross-border group should – when imposing supervisory or administrative measures, including sanctions, on institutions for their failure to address deficiencies related to ML/TF risks adequately – liaise with the relevant AML/CFT supervisors in accordance with section 8 of the AML/CFT Cooperation Guidelines⁶⁰ , and – in line with the respective authorities’ mandates and functions

• – consider the most appropriate prudential supervisory measures to address these deficiencies and risks in addition to any measures taken by the AML/CFT supervisors.
