Dear Members of the Europe II Regional Group,
We hope this message finds you well.
As you are already aware, the Europe II Regional Group is in the process of selecting one new Regional Representative, due to the vacancy created by the departure of Mr. Daniel Thelesklaf from his position in FIU Switzerland (MROS). The newly selected Regional Representative of the Europe II Regional Group will have a two-year term (in accordance with the Egmont Charter - Section 6.5-C), until the Egmont Group Plenary in July 2022.
Consistent with the Voting Rules for the Election of Regional Representatives (hereinafter the Procedure), the Executive Secretary launched a call for nominations on July 13th (attached) allowing members in the regional group six weeks to submit written nominations (para 8 of the Procedure).
During the interval, one nomination was received from FIU Armenia, nominating Ms. Astghik Karamanukyan, the Deputy Head of the Financial Monitoring Center of the Central Bank of Armenia (FMC) for the position of the Egmont Group Europe II Regional Representative (attached). To enable members within the Europe II Regional Group to make an informed decision (para 15 of the Procedure) a video presentation of Ms. Astghik Karamanukyan, outlining how she intends to serve as Regional Representative and what she can bring to the role, is attached.
According with The Procedures (para 16), the members of the regional group should strive to reach consensus on the selection of the Regional Representative (i.e. consensus is the rule). For this purpose, your views and any potential concerns or objections regarding Ms. Astghik Karamanukyan’s nomination are welcomed before Friday, September 18 (COB Ottawa time). As usual, non-responses will be interpreted as tacit agreement with the selection of Ms. Astghik Karamanukyan’s as Regional Representative for Europe II Regional Group.
If, based on the reactions received, the Executive Secretary concludes that the members of the Europe II Regional Group reached consensus on the selection of Ms. Astghik Karamanukyan as Regional Representative then the Egmont Group Secretariat will ensure that the name of the newly selected Regional Representative FIU representatives is submitted to the Egmont Committee for endorsement (para 17 of The Procedure).
Best regards,
The Egmont Group Secretariat
