Amendment: High-risk third countries list (DR Congo, UAE, etc.)

This procedure updates the list of non-EU countries identified as having strategic deficiencies in their systems to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. By maintaining an accurate list, the EU can apply enhanced due diligence measures to prevent financial crimes from entering the internal market.

The update adds the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gibraltar, Mozambique, Tanzania, and the UAE to the high-risk list, while removing Nicaragua, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe after they improved their regulatory frameworks.
