Missing parliamentary control of the FIU: Fiu control committee does not meet despite the law decision
After more than six months, the FIU control committee has still not met. In November 2023, a legal regulation came into force at the decision of the Bundestag, according to which a committee is taught secretly every six months about the fulfillment of the tasks of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). However, this has not yet occurred more than six months after the law came into force. This state is worrying, since this affects the possibilities of effective parliamentary control of the FIU.
Financial policy spokeswoman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, Antje Tillmann, points out that the FIU's traffic light coalition has given the law on risk-based working method to examine a great deal of discretion to examine or refrain from being suspected of doing money. The face of this scope is all the more important that effective parliamentary control takes place. Tillmann criticizes that the parliamentary body that is supposed to monitor the work of the FIU has still not met six months after the law came into force.
Matthias Hauer, responsible rapporteur, also emphasizes the need for close parliamentary control of the FIU. Effective control is urgently needed in particular due to the large processing residues of the past and the legal use of the risk filter by the traffic light coalition. Hauer criticizes the federal government for constantly difficult this control. The FIU committee has not yet been constituted more than six months after its anchoring in the money laundering law, although the Finance Committee is responsible.
The CDU/CSU parliamentary group emphasizes its obligation for freedom, cohesion and personal responsibility and is committed to a strong free-democratic constitutional state. On the basis of the Christian image of man, the Union faction supports a social and ecological market economy as well as the integration into the western community of values and the agreement of Europe. The CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the German Bundestag is Friedrich Merz.
The most important information about this press release is summarized in the table below:
| Topic | Fiu control committee has not yet met |
| ———————— | --——————————
| Date | November 2023 |
| Law | Law on the risk -based way of working of the Fiu |
| Responsible party | CDU /CSU parliamentary group |
| Critics of criticism | No effective control, delay tactics of the traffic light coalition |
| CDU/CSU parliamentary group | Obligation to freedom, cohesion and personal responsibility |
It is worrying that the FIU control committee has still not met. Effective parliamentary control is essential to monitor the work of the FIU and ensure that suspicion of money is adequately examined. The traffic light coalition must ensure that the committee meets promptly and regularly to ensure the expected transparency and control.
In this context,historical background information could include the development and development of the FIU in Germany. It could be interesting to shed light on the change in the topic of money laundering and its importance for the German economy over time. In addition, an explanation of the role of the CDU/CSU faction in the fight against money laundering and its positioning on this topic could be helpful. All this information could strengthen the understanding of the readers about the current situation and the importance of the FIU control committee.
