Observer states and organizations
The institution of observer plays an important role in the EAG’s activities.
12 states and 17 international and regional organizations have observer status within the Eurasian group.
According to the EAG Terms of reference, all states and organizations that share the EAG’s goals and objectives concerning the creation of a comprehensive AML/CFT regime in the region and accept the FATF 40+9 Recommendations and other international AML/CFT standards can join the EAG observers.
The Plenary meeting of the EAG has the authority to grant observer status.
Observers are invited to participate in the EAG Working groups, Plenary meetings, consultations and other events. They also play a big role in rendering technical assistance to the EAG member-states in the implementation of specialized training and other projects.
