Guyana removed from EU Money Laundering Blacklist

The European Commission has officially removed Guyana from its blacklist of countries seen as posing a threat because of lax controls on terrorism financing and money laundering.

The Government of Guyana is welcoming the move. Attorney General Basil Williams has indicated that the move by the EU augurs well for Guyana, especially as it moves towards first oil next year and as more investors are heading to the Guyana shores.

He said the coalition government has always committed itself to fighting money laundering and the financing of terrorism and has enacted new laws and amendments to old laws to ensure that fight is won.

Guyana’s removal from the EU blacklist is likely to make it easier for many countries and businesses within the EU to conduct business with Guyana without the fear of dirty money.

While Guyana has been removed from the list, the European Commission has added twenty three countries to its new blacklist.

The Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Panama and Saudi Arabia are among the countries on the new list.

According to the EU, “Under to the Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive, banks and other financial institutions have to apply extra checks (“enhanced customer due diligence requirements”) for transactions involving high-risk third countries identified on the list.”

the criminal oligarchy and their political/'civil' society assets are striking back in big ways against a weakened and (for now) less than competent coalition

but the ABC countries are signaling that they are well aware of WHO is on the side of JUSTICE

It’s a process the PPP was getting to.  The PPP was concerned about the reporting requirements and the impact on smaller banks.  Many smaller ones, like Baroda, will shut up shop and others will be less inclined to do international transactions.  But it is what it is.

It was voted down by the same government when they were in opposition.

The truth is that it is under the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) Administration that anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism laws were introduced in Guyana, firstly in 2001, and then again in 2009, with the enactment of our current Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Act.

It is common knowledge, fresh in the memory of most, that during the Tenth Parliament of Guyana, the APNU/AFC (now the Government), used their one-seat majority in the National Assembly to vote down two AML/CFT Amendment Bills, one in 2012, and one in 2014, which were intended to incorporate into the principal Act, a host of recommendations of CFATF. They did so after hijacking these Bills and keeping them in a Special Select Committee, unnecessarily, for several months, holding the then Government to ransom by demanding a multiplicity of political concessions. In the end, they still voted down the Bills, causing Guyana to be subjected to a regime of sanctions and to be reviewed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as recommended by CFATF.

All that this Government has done over the past  three years, was to simply enact the very two Bills, which they voted down while they were in the Opposition and which exposed our financial sector to sanctions as well as the loss of invaluable business relations in several countries across the globe, especially, with international corresponding banks.

Let us get the facts straight and in the process debunk the impression being peddled by the slopsters that this is a PNC accomplishment. What the jackasses will not tell you is that the pnc/afc created this crisis in the first place, misusing their 1 seat majority in parliament to block the passing of money laundering legislation pre May 2015, that would have achieved the same goal years ago.
