▼B

2.  
With the exception of casinos, and following an appropriate risk assessment, Member States may decide to exempt, in full or in part, providers of certain gambling services from national provisions transposing this Directive on the basis of the proven low risk posed by the nature and, where appropriate, the scale of operations of such services.

Among the factors considered in their risk assessments, Member States shall assess the degree of vulnerability of the applicable transactions, including with respect to the payment methods used.

In their risk assessments, Member States shall indicate how they have taken into account any relevant findings in the reports issued by the Commission pursuant to Article 6.

Any decision taken by a Member State pursuant to the first subparagraph shall be notified to the Commission, together with a justification based on the specific risk assessment. The Commission shall communicate that decision to the other Member States.

3.  

Member States may decide that persons that engage in a financial activity on an occasional or very limited basis where there is little risk of money laundering or terrorist financing do not fall within the scope of this Directive, provided that all of the following criteria are met:

(a) 

the financial activity is limited in absolute terms;

(b) 

the financial activity is limited on a transaction basis;

(c) 

the financial activity is not the main activity of such persons;

(d) 

the financial activity is ancillary and directly related to the main activity of such persons;

(e) 

the main activity of such persons is not an activity referred to in points (a) to (d) or point (f) of paragraph 1(3);

(f) 

the financial activity is provided only to the customers of the main activity of such persons and is not generally offered to the public.

5.  
For the purposes of point (b) of paragraph 3, Member States shall apply a maximum threshold per customer and per single transaction, whether the transaction is carried out in a single operation or in several operations which appear to be linked. That maximum threshold shall be established at national level, depending on the type of financial activity. It shall be sufficiently low in order to ensure that the types of transactions in question are an impractical and inefficient method for money laundering or terrorist financing, and shall not exceed EUR 1 000 .
6.  
For the purposes of point (c) of paragraph 3, Member States shall require that the turnover of the financial activity does not exceed 5 % of the total turnover of the natural or legal person concerned.
7.  
In assessing the risk of money laundering or terrorist financing for the purposes of this Article, Member States shall pay particular attention to any financial activity which is considered to be particularly likely, by its nature, to be used or abused for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing.
8.  
Decisions taken by Member States pursuant to paragraph 3 shall state the reasons on which they are based. Member States may decide to withdraw such decisions where circumstances change. They shall notify such decisions to the Commission. The Commission shall communicate such decisions to the other Member States.
9.  
Member States shall establish risk-based monitoring activities or take other adequate measures to ensure that the exemption granted by decisions pursuant to this Article is not abused.

In imthosca eisceachtúla a bheidh le leagan síos sa dlí náisiúnta, más rud é go ndéanfadh an rochtain dá dtagraítear i bpointí (b), (c) agus (d) den chéad fhomhír an t-úinéir tairbhiúil a nochtadh do bhaol díréireach, baol calaoise, fuadaigh, dúmhála, sractha, ciaptha, foréigin, nó imeaglaithe, nó más rud é gur mionaoiseach an t-úinéir nó go bhfuil sé éagumasach ar shlí eile ó thaobh an dlí de, féadfaidh na Ballstáit foráil a dhéanamh maidir le díolúine ón rochtain sin ar an bhfaisnéis go léir nó ar chuid di maidir leis an úinéireacht thairbhiúil ar bhonn cás ar chás. Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go ndéanfar díolúintí den sórt sin ar mheastóireacht mhionsonraithe ar chineál eisceachtúil na gcúinsí. Déanfar na cearta chun athbhreithniú riaracháin ar an gcinneadh maidir le díolúine agus ar leigheas breithiúnach éifeachtach a ráthú. Ballstát a bhfuil díolúintí deonaithe aige, foilseoidh sé sonraí staitistiúla bliantúla maidir le líon na ndíolúintí a deonaíodh agus na cúiseanna a luadh agus déanfaidh siad na sonraí sin a thuairisciú don Choimisiún.

Ní bheidh feidhm ag díolúintí a dheonófar de bhun na chéad fhomhíre seo maidir le hinstitiúidí creidmheasa agus institiúidí airgeadais agus maidir le heintitis faoi oibleagáid dá dtagraítear i bpointe 3(b) d’Airteagal 2(1) arb oifigigh phoiblí iad.

I gcás ina gcinnfidh Ballstát díolúine a bhunú i gcomhréir leis an gcéad fhomhír, ní chuirfidh sé srian le húdaráis inniúla agus le FIUnna rochtain a bheith acu ar fhaisnéis.

3.  
Each FIU shall be operationally independent and autonomous, which means that the FIU shall have the authority and capacity to carry out its functions freely, including the ability to take autonomous decisions to analyse, request and disseminate specific information. The FIU as the central national unit shall be responsible for receiving and analysing suspicious transaction reports and other information relevant to money laundering, associated predicate offences or terrorist financing. The FIU shall be responsible for disseminating the results of its analyses and any additional relevant information to the competent authorities where there are grounds to suspect money laundering, associated predicate offences or terrorist financing. It shall be able to obtain additional information from obliged entities.

Member States shall provide their FIUs with adequate financial, human and technical resources in order to fulfil their tasks.

The decision on conducting the analysis or dissemination of information shall remain with the FIU.
5.  
Where there are objective grounds for assuming that the provision of such information would have a negative impact on ongoing investigations or analyses, or, in exceptional circumstances, where disclosure of the information would be clearly disproportionate to the legitimate interests of a natural or legal person or irrelevant with regard to the purposes for which it has been requested, the FIU shall be under no obligation to comply with the request for information.

7.  
Member States shall ensure that the FIU is empowered to take urgent action, directly or indirectly, where there is a suspicion that a transaction is related to money laundering or terrorist financing, to suspend or withhold consent to a transaction that is proceeding, in order to analyse the transaction, confirm the suspicion and disseminate the results of the analysis to the competent authorities.

Article 51

The Commission may lend such assistance as may be needed to facilitate coordination, including the exchange of information between FIUs within the Union. It may regularly convene meetings of the EU FIUs' Platform composed of representatives from Member States' FIUs, in order to facilitate cooperation among FIUs, exchange views and provide advice on implementation issues relevant for FIUs and reporting entities as well as on cooperation-related issues such as effective FIU cooperation, the identification of suspicious transactions with a cross-border dimension, the standardisation of reporting formats through the FIU.net or its successor, the joint analysis of cross-border cases, and the identification of trends and factors relevant to assessing the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing at national and supranational level.

Article 52

Member States shall ensure that FIUs cooperate with each other to the greatest extent possible, regardless of their organisational status.

Article 53

▼M1

1.  
Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go ndéanfaidh na FIUnna, go spontáineach, nó má iarrtar orthu, aon fhaisnéis a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ábhartha don FIU a bheith ag próiseáil agus ag anailísiú na faisnéise maidir le sciúradh airgid nó le maoiniú sceimhlitheoireachta nó leis an duine nádúrtha nó dlítheanach atá rannpháirteach, beag beann ar chineál na gcionta preideacáide bainteacha agus fiú amháin mura sainaithnítear cineál na gcionta preideacáide bainteacha tráth an mhalartaithe.

▼B

A request shall contain the relevant facts, background information, reasons for the request and how the information sought will be used. Different exchange mechanisms may apply if so agreed between the FIUs, in particular as regards exchanges through the FIU.net or its successor.

2.  
Member States shall ensure that the FIU to whom the request is made is required to use the whole range of its available powers which it would normally use domestically for receiving and analysing information when it replies to a request for information referred to in paragraph 1 from another FIU. The FIU to whom the request is made shall respond in a timely manner.

When an FIU seeks to obtain additional information from an obliged entity established in another Member State which operates on its territory, the request shall be addressed to the FIU of the Member State in whose territory the obliged entity is established. ►M1  Gheobhaidh an FIU sin faisnéis i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 33(1) agus déanfaidh sé na freagraí a aistriú go pras. ◄

3.  
An FIU may refuse to exchange information only in exceptional circumstances where the exchange could be contrary to fundamental principles of its national law. Those exceptions shall be specified in a way which prevents misuse of, and undue limitations on, the free exchange of information for analytical purposes.

Article 54

Information and documents received pursuant to Articles 52 and 53 shall be used for the accomplishment of the FIU's tasks as laid down in this Directive. When exchanging information and documents pursuant to Articles 52 and 53, the transmitting FIU may impose restrictions and conditions for the use of that information. The receiving FIU shall comply with those restrictions and conditions.

▼M1

Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go n-ainmneoidh na FIUnna duine teagmhála nó pointe teagmhála amháin ar a laghad le bheith freagrach as iarrataí ar fhaisnéis a fháil ó FIUnna i mBallstáit eile.

▼B

Article 55

1.  
Member States shall ensure that the information exchanged pursuant to Articles 52 and 53 is used only for the purpose for which it was sought or provided and that any dissemination of that information by the receiving FIU to any other authority, agency or department, or any use of this information for purposes beyond those originally approved, is made subject to the prior consent by the FIU providing the information.

▼M1

2.  
Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go ndéanfar toiliú roimh ré ó FIU iarrtha chun an fhaisnéis a scaipeadh ar na húdaráis inniúla a dheonú go pras agus a mhéid is féidir beag beann ar chineál na gcionta preideacáide bainteacha. Ní dhiúltóidh an FIU iarrtha a thoiliú don scaipeadh sin mura rud é go mbeadh sé sin thar raon feidhme chur i bhfeidhm a fhorálacha AML/CFT nó go bhféadfadh lagú ar imscrúdú coiriúil teacht as, nó go mbeadh sé díréireach ar shlí eile nach mbeadh sé i gcomhréir le prionsabail bhunúsacha dhlí náisiúnta an Bhallstáit sin. Déanfar aon diúltú chun toiliú a dheonú a mhíniú go hiomchuí.

Foroinn IIIa

Comhar idir na húdaráis inniúla a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais agus údaráis eile faoi cheangal ag rúndacht ghairmiúil

Airteagal 57a

1.  
Déanfaidh na Ballstáit a cheangal go mbeidh gach duine a oibríonn don nó a d’oibrigh don údaráis inniúil a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais i gcomhréir leis an Treoir seo agus iniúchóirí nó saineolaithe a fheidhmíonn thar ceann údaráis inniúla den sórt sin go mbeidh siad faoi cheangal ag oibleagáid na rúndachta gairmiúla.

Gan dochar do chásanna a chumhdaítear leis an dlí coiriúil, ní fhéadfar faisnéis faoi rún a fhaigheann na daoine dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír i bhfeidhmiú a ndualgas faoin Treoir seo dóibh a nochtadh ach amháin mar achoimre nó i bhfoirm chomhiomlánaithe, ar shlí a fhágfaidh nach féidir institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais aonair a shainaithint.

2.  

Ní chuirfidh mír 1 cosc ar mhalartú faisnéise idir:

(a) 

údaráis inniúla a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais laistigh de Bhallstát i gcomhréir leis an Treoir seo nó gníomhartha reachtacha eile a bhaineann le maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais;

(b) 

údaráis inniúla a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais laistigh de Bhallstáit éagsúla i gcomhréir leis an Treoir seo nó le gníomhartha reachtacha eile a bhaineann le maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais, lena n-áirítear an Banc Ceannais Eorpach (BCE) ag gníomhú dó i gcomhréir le Rialachán (AE) Uimh 1024/2013 ón gComhairle ( *1 ). Beidh an malartú faisnéise sin faoi réir choinníollacha na rúndachta gairmiúla a luaitear i mír 1.

Faoin 10 Eanáir 2019, déanfaidh na húdaráis inniúla a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais i gcomhréir leis an Treoir seo agus an BCE, ag gníomhú dó de bhun Airteagal 27(2) de Rialachán (AE) Uimh. 1024/2013 agus de bhun phointe (g) den chéad fhomhír d’Airteagal 56 de Threoir 2013/36AE ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle ( *2 ), le tacaíocht na nÚdarás Maoirseachta Eorpacha, comhaontú a chur i gcrích ar na modúlachtaí praiticiúla chun faisnéis a mhalartú.

3.  

Údaráis inniúla a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais a fhaigheann faisnéis rúnda amhail dá dtagraítear i mír 1, bainfidh siad feidhm as an bhfaisnéis sin:

(a) 

i gcomhlíonadh a ndualgas faoin Treoir seo nó faoi ghníomhartha reachtacha eile i réimse AML/CFT, na rialála stuamachta agus na maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais, lena n-áirítear smachtbhannú;

(b) 

in achomharc i gcoinne cinneadh de chuid an údaráis inniúil a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais, lena n-áirítear imeachtaí cúirte;

(c) 

in imeachtaí cúirte a thionscnaítear de bhun forálacha speisialta dá bhforáiltear i ndlí an Aontais arna ghlacadh i réimse na Treorach seo nó i réimse na rialála stuamachta agus na maoirseachta ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais.

4.  
Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go n-oibreoidh na húdaráis inniúla a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais i gcomhar le chéile chun críocha na Treorach seo a mhéid is féidir, beag beann ar a gcineál nó a stádas atá acu faoi seach. Áirítear leis freisin an cumas comhar den sórt sin a dhéanamh, laistigh de chumhachtaí an údaráis inniúil iarrtha, fiosrúchán a dhéanamh thar ceann údarás inniúil iarrthach, agus i malartú na faisnéise ina dhiaidh sin a fuarthas trí imscrúduithe den sórt sin.
5.  
Féadfaidh na Ballstáit údarú a thabhairt dá n-údaráis náisiúnta inniúla a dhéanann maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais comhaontuithe comhair a thabhairt i gcrích a dhéanann foráil maidir le comhar agus malartú faisnéise rúnda leis na húdaráis inniúla i dtríú tíortha arb ionann a gcontrapháirteanna agus na húdaráis náisiúnta inniúla sin. Déanfar comhaontuithe comhair den sórt sin a thabhairt i gcrích ar bhonn na cómhalartachta agus ní dhéanfar é sin ach amháin má tá an fhaisnéis a nochtfar faoi réir cheanglais rúndachta gairmiúla atá comhionann ar a laghad leis sin dá dtagraítear i mír 1. Bainfear feidhm as an bhfaisnéis rúnda a malartaíodh de réir na gcomhaontuithe comhair sin chun críche cúram maoirseoireachta na n-údarás sin a chomhlíonadh.

I gcás ina dtionscnaíonn an fhaisnéis arna malartú i mBallstát eile, ní dhéanfar í a nochtadh gan toiliú sainráite an údaráis inniúil a chomhroinn í agus, i gcás inarb iomchuí, chun na gcríoch ar thug an t-údarás sin a thoiliú dóibh agus chun na gcríoch sin amháin.

Airteagal 57b

1.  
D’ainneoin Airteagal 57a (1) agus (3) agus gan dochar d’Airteagal 34(2), féadfaidh na Ballstáit údarú a thabhairt chun faisnéis a mhalartú idir údaráis inniúla, sa Bhallstát céanna nó i mBallstáit éagsúla, idir na húdaráis inniúla agus na húdaráis ar cuireadh ar a n-iontaoibh maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar eintitis na hearnála airgeadais agus ar dhaoine nádúrtha nó dlítheanacha atá ag gníomhú i bhfeidhmiú a gcuid gníomhaíochtaí gairmiúla amhail dá dtagraítear i bpointe (3) d’Airteagal 2(1) agus na húdaráis atá freagrach le dlí as maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar mhargaí airgeadais i gcomhlíonadh a bhfeidhmeanna maoirseachta faoi seach.

Beidh an fhaisnéis a fhaightear, in aon chás, faoi réir cheanglais na rúndachta gairmiúla a bheidh coibhéiseach ar a laghad leo siúd dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 57a(1).

2.  
D’ainneoin Airteagal 57a(1) agus (3), féadfaidh na Ballstáit, de bhua fhorálacha a leagtar síos sa dlí náisiúnta, údarú a thabhairt faisnéis áirithe a nochtadh leis na húdaráis náisiúnta eile atá freagrach le dlí as maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar na margaí airgeadais, nó ag a mbeidh freagrachtaí ainmnithe i réimse sciúradh airgid, na cionta preideacáide bainteacha nó maoiniú sceimhlitheoireachta a chomhrac nó a imscrúdú.

Mar sin féin, ní bhainfear feidhm as an bhfaisnéis rúnda a malartaíodh de réir an mhír 2 seo ach amháin chun críche cúraimí dlíthiúla na n-údarás lena mbaineann a chomhlíonadh. Beidh daoine a bhfuil rochtain acu ar an bhfaisnéis sin faoi réir cheanglais na rúndachta gairmiúla a bheidh coibhéiseach ar a laghad leo siúd dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 57a(1).

3.  

Féadfaidh na Ballstáit údarú a thabhairt go nochtfar faisnéis áirithe maidir le maoirseacht ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus airgeadais i gcomhréir leis an Treoir seo do choistí fiosrúcháin Parlaiminteacha, do chúirteanna iniúchóirí agus d’eintitis eile atá i gceannas ar fhiosrúcháin, ina mBallstát, faoi na coinníollacha seo a leanas:

(a) 

go bhfuil sainordú beacht faoin dlí náisiúnta ag na heintitis chun imscrúdú nó grinnscrúdú a dhéanamh ar ghníomhaíochtaí na n-údarás atá freagrach as maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar na hinstitiúidí creidmheasa sin nó as dlíthe maidir le maoirseacht den sórt sin;

(b) 

go bhfuil dianghá leis an bhfaisnéis chun an sainordú dá dtagraítear i bpointe (a) a chomhlíonadh;

(c) 

go bhfuil na daoine a mbeidh rochtain acu ar an bhfaisnéis faoi réir na gceanglas maidir le rúndacht ghairmiúil faoin dlí náisiúnta atá coibhéiseach ar a laghad leo siúd dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 57a (1);

(d) 

i gcás ina dtionscnaíonn an fhaisnéis i mBallstát eile, nach ndéanfar í a nochtadh gan toiliú sainráite na n-údarás inniúil a nocht í agus, chun na gcríoch amháin ar thug na húdaráis sin a dtoiliú dóibh.

Sanctions

Article 58

1.  
Member States shall ensure that obliged entities can be held liable for breaches of national provisions transposing this Directive in accordance with this Article and Articles 59 to 61. Any resulting sanction or measure shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

Member States may decide not to lay down rules for administrative sanctions or measures for breaches which are subject to criminal sanctions in their national law. In that case, Member States shall communicate to the Commission the relevant criminal law provisions.

▼M1

Déanfaidh na Ballstáit a áirithiú freisin i gcás ina sainaithníonn a n-údaráis inniúla sáruithe atá faoi réir smachtbhannaí coiriúla, go gcuirfidh siad na húdaráis forfheidhmithe dlí ar an eolas ar bhealach tráthúil.

▼B

3.

4.  
Member States shall ensure that the competent authorities have all the supervisory and investigatory powers that are necessary for the exercise of their functions.
5.  

Competent authorities shall exercise their powers to impose administrative sanctions and measures in accordance with this Directive, and with national law, in any of the following ways:

(a) 

directly;

(b) 

in collaboration with other authorities;

(c) 

under their responsibility by delegation to such other authorities;

(d) 

by application to the competent judicial authorities.

In the exercise of their powers to impose administrative sanctions and measures, competent authorities shall cooperate closely in order to ensure that those administrative sanctions or measures produce the desired results and coordinate their action when dealing with cross-border cases.

Article 59

1.

(a) 

a public statement which identifies the natural or legal person and the nature of the breach;

(b) 

an order requiring the natural or legal person to cease the conduct and to desist from repetition of that conduct;

(b) 

in the case of a natural person, maximum administrative pecuniary sanctions of at least EUR 5 000 000 , or in the Member States whose currency is not the euro, the corresponding value in the national currency on 25 June 2015.

Article 60

1.  
Member States shall ensure that a decision imposing an administrative sanction or measure for breach of the national provisions transposing this Directive against which there is no appeal shall be published by the competent authorities on their official website immediately after the person sanctioned is informed of that decision. The publication shall include at least information on the type and nature of the breach and the identity of the persons responsible. Member States shall not be obliged to apply this subparagraph to decisions imposing measures that are of an investigatory nature.

Where the publication of the identity of the persons responsible as referred to in the first subparagraph or the personal data of such persons is considered by the competent authority to be disproportionate following a case-by-case assessment conducted on the proportionality of the publication of such data, or where publication jeopardises the stability of financial markets or an on-going investigation, competent authorities shall:

(a) 

delay the publication of the decision to impose an administrative sanction or measure until the moment at which the reasons for not publishing it cease to exist;

(b) 

publish the decision to impose an administrative sanction or measure on an anonymous basis in a manner in accordance with national law, if such anonymous publication ensures an effective protection of the personal data concerned; in the case of a decision to publish an administrative sanction or measure on an anonymous basis, the publication of the relevant data may be postponed for a reasonable period of time if it is foreseen that within that period the reasons for anonymous publication shall cease to exist;

(c) 

not publish the decision to impose an administrative sanction or measure at all in the event that the options set out in points (a) and (b) are considered insufficient to ensure:

(i) 

that the stability of financial markets would not be put in jeopardy; or

(ii) 

the proportionality of the publication of the decision with regard to measures which are deemed to be of a minor nature.

2.  
Where Member States permit publication of decisions against which there is an appeal, competent authorities shall also publish, immediately, on their official website such information and any subsequent information on the outcome of such appeal. Moreover, any decision annulling a previous decision to impose an administrative sanction or a measure shall also be published.
3.  
Competent authorities shall ensure that any publication in accordance with this Article shall remain on their official website for a period of five years after its publication.

(a) 

the gravity and the duration of the breach;

(b) 

the degree of responsibility of the natural or legal person held responsible;

(c) 

the financial strength of the natural or legal person held responsible, as indicated for example by the total turnover of the legal person held responsible or the annual income of the natural person held responsible;

(d) 

the benefit derived from the breach by the natural or legal person held responsible, insofar as it can be determined;

(e) 

the losses to third parties caused by the breach, insofar as they can be determined;

(f) 

the level of cooperation of the natural or legal person held responsible with the competent authority;

(b) 

authority to take decisions on behalf of the legal person; or

(c) 

authority to exercise control within the legal person.

6.

Article 61

▼M1

1.  
Déanfaidh na Ballstáit a áirithiú go mbunóidh údaráis inniúla, chomh maith i gcás inarb infheidhme, le comhlachtaí féinrialála, sásraí éifeachtacha agus iontaofa chun tuairisciú sháruithe féideartha nó iarbhír ar na forálacha náisiúnta lena dtrasuítear an Treoir seo chuig údaráis inniúla, chomh maith le, i gcás inarb infheidhme, comhlachtaí féinrialála, a spreagadh.

Chun na críche sin, soláthróidh siad bealach cumarsáide slán amháin nó níos mó do dhaoine le haghaidh an tuairiscithe dá dtagraítear sa chéad fhomhír. Áiritheoidh bealaí den sórt sin nach mbeidh céannacht na ndaoine sin a chuireann faisnéis ar fáil ar eolas ach amháin ag na húdaráis inniúla, chomh maith, i gcás inarb infheidhme, le comhlachtaí féinrialála.

Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go ndéanfar daoine aonair, lena n-áirítear fostaithe agus ionadaithe an eintitis faoi oibleagáid, a thuairiscíonn amhras faoi sciúradh airgid nó maoiniú sceimhlitheoireachta go hinmheánach nó don FIU, a chosaint ar bheith neamhchosanta ar bhagairtí nó ar ghníomhaíocht dhíoltach nó naimhdeach, agus go háirithe ar ghníomhaíochtaí fostaíochta díobhálacha nó idirdhealaitheacha.

Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go mbeidh daoine aonair atá neamhchosanta ar bhagairtí, gníomhaíochtaí naimhdeacha, nó díobhálacha nó idirdhealaitheacha gníomhaíochtaí fostaíochta maidir le tuairisciú amhras faoi sciúradh airgid nó maoiniú sceimhlitheoireachta go hinmheánach, nó chuig an FIU i dteideal gearán a thíolacadh ar bhealach sábháilte, do na húdaráis inniúla faoi seach. Gan dochar do rúndacht na faisnéise arna bailiú ag an FIU, áiritheoidh na Ballstáit freisin go mbeidh an ceart ag daoine aonair den sórt sin chun leigheas éifeachtach chun a gcearta a choimirciú faoin mhír seo.

1.  
Áiritheoidh na Ballstáit go gcuirfidh a gcuid údarás inniúil ÚBE ar an eolas maidir leis na smachtbhannaí riaracháin agus bearta riaracháin ar fad a fhorchuirtear i gcomhréir le hAirteagail 58 agus 59 ar institiúidí creidmheasa agus institiúidí airgeadais, lena n-áirítear maidir le hachomharc ar bith i ndáil leo sin agus an toradh a bhí air.

2.  
Member States shall ensure that their competent authorities, in accordance with their national law, check the existence of a relevant conviction in the criminal record of the person concerned. Any exchange of information for those purposes shall be carried out in accordance with Decision 2009/316/JHA and Framework Decision 2009/315/JHA as implemented in national law.
