DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35291) has announced the addition of Capital, Payments and Money Laundering in the European Union to their offering.

The free movement of capital and payments within the EU and between the EU and third countries is an essential component in establishing the internal market in financial services. This work provides an expert and practical analysis of the Treaty framework governing free movement of capital and payments, covering the definition of capital payments, the prohibition of restrictions on free movement, together with the permitted exceptions, derogations and safeguard measures. The provisions are considered in the context of other EU Treaty provisions and the international environment. The author also addresses the increasingly complex EU framework for combating money laundering.

This detailed and practical text written by a leading authority in the field constitutes an essential guide for all those requiring in-depth knowledge of EU rules on free movement of capital and payments and money laundering, including practitioners, government officials and academics. The book will also be of interest to those working in financial institutions.
