If the matter does not fall within the scope of the ministry, it is kindly requested that this email would be sent to the proper authority and/or information given on contact points. Here in Iceland, we are working on the technical implementation of CBAR, but we have already implemented Article 32a as such, through amendments to the Icelandic AML Act. Our technical experts have been reviewing the Estonian system and believe it would be very efficient to have a virtual meeting to discuss the technical side of your system, for example. Therefore, we need the right contact point for this project in Estonia. Such meeting would involve, from our side, two IT specialists, our technical project manager, and myself, an AML legal expert. We´ve had similar meetings with other EU countries but the Estonian government’s technical structure matches ours in many ways so it would be a huge benefit to have the possibility to discuss it further. Looking forward to hearing from you.
