Amendment 218 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The quality of the national AML/CFT framework, together with the long-standing reputation and experience of the host member state in the fight against Money Laundering and Terrorism financing, should be among the essential factors to determine the location of establishment of the seats of the Authority. In addition, a balanced geographical distribution and presence of the seats of EU authorities across Member States is crucial to ensure equal treatment and proximity to all EU citizens; for this reason, the seat of the Authority should be established in a city where no other EU agencies or independent authorities are already located.
