Promoting good governance and combating corruption, money laundering and financing of terrorism are key areas of OSCE activity. In this regard, the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan – together with the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Financial Intelligence Unit of Uzbekistan), the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (EAG), and the International Training and Methodology Centre for Financial Monitoring – organized the “Meeting with Donors and Providers of Technical Assistance” on 9-10 March in Tashkent.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Technical Assistance Plan for Uzbekistan on anti-money laundering and combating financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), developed after the publication of the Second Evaluation Report of the EAG Secretariat in 2022. The report, which aims to bring national AML/CFT systems in line with international standards, identified a number of shortcomings, which the Technical Assistance Plan aims to address. Discussions thus focused on strengthening the host country’s capacity to effectively overcome those, especially by identifying areas for better co-operation among donors and providers of technical assistance and defining the timeframe for the implementation of the Plan.

The event gathered more than forty participants – including representatives from different donor countries and international organizations.

Dilshod Rahimov, Head of the FIU of Uzbekistan, stressed that the implementation of the recommendations of the Mutual Evaluation Report to improve the national AML/CFT system was essential to create a better investment climate and greater transparency, thus ensuring sustainable economic growth.

Hans-Ullrich Ihm, Acting OSCE Project Co-ordinator, assured that the OSCE will continue to support Uzbekistan in its efforts to combat money laundering and corruption, and underlined the importance of these meetings in offering avenues to additional capacity building, better coordination and more efficient implementation.

Faced with a persistent terrorist threat, the European Union (EU) is playing an increasingly ambitious role in counter-terrorism. Primary responsibility for combating crime and ensuring security lies with the Member States, but the EU provides cooperation, coordination and (to some extent) harmonisation tools, as well as financial support, to address this borderless phenomenon. Moreover, awareness of the connection between development and stability, as well as between internal and external security, has come to shape EU action beyond Union borders. EU spending on counter-terrorism has increased over the years, to allow for better cooperation between national law enforcement authorities and enhanced support by the EU bodies in charge of security and justice, such as Europol, eu-LISA and Eurojust.

The many new rules and instruments that have been adopted in recent years focus, among things, on harmonising definitions of terrorist offences and sanctions, sharing information and data, protecting borders, countering terrorist financing and regulating firearms. However, implementing and evaluating the various measures is a challenging task. The European Parliament has played an active role, not only in shaping legislation, but also in evaluating existing tools and gaps through the work accomplished by its Special Committee on Terrorism (TERR) in 2018.

In line with the Parliament’s recommendations, as well as the priorities set by the European Commission and its counter-terrorism agenda presented in December 2020, EU counter-terrorism action has recently focused on doing more to anticipate threats, counter radicalisation, and reduce vulnerabilities by making critical infrastructures more resilient and improving the protection of public spaces. The EU will also continue to address the online dimension of various forms of extremism, in line with the laws on dissemination of terrorist content online and on the provision of digital services in the EU that have recently entered into force.
