The draft RTS set out the requirements and information to be collected for standard customer due diligence (CDD), simplified due diligence (SDD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD) purposes, with the aim of harmonising the way AML/CFT requirements are applied in the EU. The feedback provided to this consultation will be considered by AMLA when preparing the final RTS to be submitted to the European Commission (the Commission) for adoption.
