AMLAR
Regulation (EU) 2024/1620, which establishes AMLA and sets out its powers
AMLR
Regulation (EU) 2024/1624, the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation. Being a Regulation it applies directly in every Member State, with no national law in between. It applies from 10 July 2027, and from 10 July 2029 to football agents and professional football clubs
AMLD6
Directive (EU) 2024/1640, the sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Being a Directive it must be written into each Member State’s own law. The general deadline is 10 July 2027. Article 74 had to be transposed by 10 July 2025, Articles 11, 12, 13 and 15 by 10 July 2026, and Article 18 by 10 July 2029
