Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/410 of 19 December 2022 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675 as regards adding the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gibraltar, Mozambique, Tanzania and the United Arab Emirates to Table I of the Annex to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675 and deleting Nicaragua, Pakistan and Zimbabwe from that table (Text with EEA relevance)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/410 has been published in the Official Journal (OJ) of the EU. It modifies Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675 which sets out the list of high-risk third countries for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive IV (AMLD IV) and thus for purposes of applying adequate due diligence measures.
In the Annex, the table under point „I. High-risk third countries which have provided a written high-level political commitment to address the identified deficiencies and have developed an action plan with FATF“ of the 2016 Delegated Regulation has thereby been modified as follows:
The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gibraltar, Mozambique, Tanzania, and the United Arab Emirates were added to to the list as they have signaled such commitment. Nicaragua, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe were removed from that table as they have adopted substantive regulatory and legal measures to address their AML and CFT deficiencies which qualifies them for being delisted.
Therefore, the new consolidated version of „High-risk third countries which have provided a written high-level political commitment to address the identified deficiencies and have developed an action plan with FATF“ looks as follows:
