The EESC laments the severity of the money laundering phenomenon in the EU. Current European legislation is largely inadequate in the face of coordination failures and national divergences, and therefore strongly supports the Anti Money Laundering legislative package, in particular the creation and design of the new European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) with direct supervisory powers.

EU Strategy on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings 2021-2025

Hyväksytyt on 22/09/2021
Viite: 
SOC/693-EESC-2021
Referral: 
COM(2021) 171 final
Rapporteur: 
Carlos Manuel TRINDADE (Workers - GR II / Portugal)

The EESC is deeply aware of the horror of human trafficking and the harmful consequences for its victims and supports all measures to fight and eradicate it. It supports the intention to establish minimum standards at EU level that criminalise the networks involved in trafficking and exploiting human beings, and the use of services arising from the exploitation of trafficking victims. The EESC proposes that involvement of CSOs and social partners be incorporated into the Strategy and that these organisations be properly supported.

European agenda on security

Referral: 
COM(2015) 624 final COM(2015) 624 final COM(2015) 625 final 2015/0281 COD
Rapporteur: 
Cristian PÎRVULESCU (Romania)

The opinion concerns two EC proposals, implementing the European Security Agenda: the proposal for a directive on combatting terrorism and the action plan against trafficking in firearms and explosives. The opinion is based on previous EESC work and its usual focus on protection of fundamental rights. The main conclusions concern the common policy against terrorism and the shared competence of the EU and the Member States, as well as the definitions of terrorist acts and types of them, terminology, the issue of anticipated crime and other risks of collision between security and human rights.
