Brussels, 09/01/2002 (Agence Europe) - Maurizio Turco, member of the Lista Bonino, put a question to the European Commission asking what initiatives have been taken with respect to the countries that have relations with the EU and whose laws on money laundering are clearly insufficient. Mr Turco recalls that the OECD Financial Action Task Force on money laundering has called on its members, including the European Commission, to pay special attention to transactions with countries that do not correctly apply its recommendations on money laundering. These countries include not only Indonesia, Burma, Egypt, Nigeria or Guatemala, but also Hungary, the candidate country for EU membership, Mr Turco remarked.
