Subject: Tasks 13386 and 13387: TAIEX workshops on regional co-operation in the fight against money laundering and the role of the private sector and regulation in combatting the financing of terrorism and money
laundering
Importance: High
Dear Mr. Landes,
Following our brief discussion in the latter half of last year here in Brussels on the two above-mentioned workshops, I would now like to push ahead with their organisation, so that both of them can still be realised this year.
The workshop on the role of the private sector will no doubt be much easier to organise, so all that we have to agree on here is a date for it to take place in Tel Aviv in the coming months.
Regarding the one on co-operation with regional FIUs, that we agreed would take place here in Brussels, it would be good to know if you already have any contacts within any of the intended countries FIUs.
I would be most grateful if you could forward me their details.
If you do not have any contact to some of the FIUs I will do my utmost here to establish contact with them via my contacts and official channels to invite them to the workshop.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
Ramin Farinpour
