The Technical Assistance and Information Exchange instrument (TAIEX) of the Directorate-General Enlargement of the European Commission and the European Public Law Center (EPLC) co-organized a seminar on “Combating Terrorism, Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism” on 10 and 11 June 2010 in Vienna.
Fifty-three (53) public officials from the Ministries of Finance, Justice, Interior, as well as the Judiciary and Law Enforcement Agencies of the Western Balkan countries and Turkey participated in the event, while speakers included experts from several EU Member States (MS), namely, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
The seminar aimed at strengthening the capacities of the civil servants of potential and candidate countries (i.e. Western Balkan countries and Turkey) in the field of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism through the sharing of the experiences and best practices of EU MS in the field, hence contributing to the alignment of potential and candidate countries with the acquis communautaire.
