Change in venue and dates of the FATF Plenary meeting

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Eurasian group on combating money laundering and financing of terrorism (EAG) planned to conduct joint Plenary meeting on June 15-20, 2014 in Moscow (Russian Federation).
At the same time, FATF Secretariat informed the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine about the change in the FATF Plenary venue from Moscow into Paris due to a refusal of a number of countries to participate in the meeting in Russian Federation. The Plenary meeting will be held on June 22-27, 2014.
Furthermore, FATF has made a decision not to hold a joint Plenary meeting with EAG.
For reference: the Eurasian group on combating money laundering and financing of terrorism (EAG) is a FATF-style regional body. It joins 9 states, in particular, Belarus, India, Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. EAG Secretariat is situated in Moscow (Russian Federation).
The State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine would like to express its gratitude to colleagues from foreign FIUs for understanding of complicated social and political situation and for support of Ukraine.
