The EU will facilitate law enforcement access to financial information. It is expected that this will help to strengthen the ability to fight against the financing of terrorism, Ukrinform reports.

The police will be able to get quick access to important financial information during criminal investigations. It is noted that this will strengthen the EU’s ability to respond to manifestations of terrorism and other serious crimes. The new rules make it easier for European law enforcement officers to organize and coordinate between various EU states in conditions where criminal groups can direct cross-border financial flows in a matter of minutes. It is expected that innovations will significantly enhance control over money laundering.
The proposed directive still needs to be formally approved by the European Parliament and the European Council.
