It is no secret today that money laundering process continues in the world. We can find different cases about money laundering process in practice. To struggle with money laundering is the most important activity of European Union Member States. The specific crime of money-laundering is among the priority areas identified in the Action Plan and data has been collected by Eurostat from the Member States in several stages, followed each time by a careful analysis of the figures received and subsequent adjustment of the methodology. The contribution to this process of the Commission's Directorate-General for Home Affairs is gratefully acknowledged. The fight against money laundering is one of the European Commission’s strategic priorities. Today the Commission also publishes a report which will support Member State authorities in better addressing money laundering risks in practice. Because of struggle money laundering, European Union legislation development is very important.
