The Council of the Slovenia Securities Market Agency (ATVP) adopted a decision applying European Banking Authority (EBA) guidelines on internal policies, procedures and controls for implementing European Union and national restrictive measures under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113. The measure is intended to ensure that crypto-asset service providers have governance and control frameworks in place to comply with restrictive measures when transferring funds and crypto-assets. Under the decision, in-scope crypto-asset service providers must establish policies, procedures and controls in line with the general requirements in the EBA Guidelines on restrictive measures under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 (EBA/GL/2024/15), and must take into account the EBA guidelines on internal policies, procedures and controls for implementing Union and national restrictive measures (EBA/GL/2024/14). The scope covers crypto-asset service providers as defined under the Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCA) where ATVP is the competent supervisor under the relevant national implementing and anti-money laundering legislation, and also applies to ATVP when exercising its supervisory powers as the competent authority under MiCA and the national framework for Regulation (EU) 2023/1113. The decision enters into force on the day after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia.
