The bloc said the updated list takes into account the work of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which removed the Philippines from its list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring earlier this year.

“The Commission has carefully considered the concerns expressed regarding its previous proposal and conducted a thorough technical assessment, based on specific criteria and a well‑defined methodology, incorporating information collected through the FATF, bilateral dialogues and on‑site visits to the jurisdictions in question,” the EU said.
