EU AML Directive: VC exchanges, wallets to report suspicious transactions.
Virtual currency transfers are currently not monitored in any way by public authorities within the EU, as no specific binding rules have been laid down, neither at Union level nor by the individual Member States, to set out conditions for such monitoring. To adequately respond to risks, it is essential to provide a regulatory framework for the functioning of exchanges as well as of custodian wallet providers that operate as gatekeepers permit the public to have access to the various schemes of virtual currencies As obliged entities under the 4AMLD, similarly to financial institutions, they become subject to the obligation to implement preventive measures and report suspicious transactions. http://ec.europa.eu/justice/criminal/document/files/aml-directive_en.pdf
