The European Commission has published two communications to the European Parliament concerning the position of the Council of the EU on the adoption of the proposed Fourth Money Laundering Directive (MLD4), and the proposed Wire Transfer Regulation (WTR). Both MLD4 and the WTR were adopted by the Council of the EU at first reading on April 20, 2015. In each case the Commission confirms that the Council's position reflects the political agreement reached on December 16, 2014, between the Parliament and the Council, including elements proposed by both institutions, and states its support for this agreement.
