Dear Heads of FIUs,
We hope this email finds you well.
We would like to kindly remind you that during the Egmont Group Plenary meeting in the Hague (July 2019), the Plenary agreed on the action plan and the timeline proposed by the EC Information Management Reference Group for the general overhaul of the Egmont Biennial Census in preparation for the next iteration of this exercise in 2021.
This overhaul process is expected to investigate whether the EBC still meets the needs of the EG members, whether this extensive data collection exercise can be aligned with other processes that FIUs are expected to provide data for (e.g. mutual evaluation processes, annual reports, etc.), and to create an efficient, user-friendly and less time-consuming exercise in 2021.
In line with
the agreed action plan and the timelines for the EBC 2021 Overhaul,
the Project team (consisting of the EC Information Management Reference Group members and
the Egmont Group Secretariat) have prepared
a brief questionnaire that seeks to collect members’ experience with completing the EBC 2019 and gather
additional information needs and feedback
on the optimal strategic framework for the EBC 2021.
The
project team will then evaluate the responses received and will start drafting the new framework for the EBC 2021 including the scope, frequency, IT infrastructure, etc. for further EC consideration and endorsement.
In order to move forward with this very important process, you are kindly requested to complete the attached questionnaire and submit it to the Egmont Group Secretariat by the 16th of March 2020.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Andrey Frolov, Senior Officer at the Egmont Group Secretariat via email at Andrey.Frolov@Egmont.org (or open email at andrey.frolov@egmontsecretariat.org).
Thank you for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
Egmont Group Secretariat
