Download Viewed Version Summary The AMF applies the guidelines of the European Banking Authority (EBA) on internal policies, procedures and controls aimed at ensuring the implementation of national and Union restrictive measures (the "2024/15 Guidelines"). These guidelines specify in particular the requirements applicable to the internal policies, procedures and controls that PSCAs (and PSANs benefiting from the transitional period) are required to put in place, in order to guarantee the implementation of restrictive measures. They complement, on these aspects, the AMF's guidelines on AML-CFT (AMF recommendation positions DOC-2019-15, DOC-2019-16, DOC-2019-18), as well as the guide on asset freezing and the AMF recommendation position DOC-2020-07.
