¶1. On February 15, EconUnit Chief delivered reftel nonpaper
to Birgit Ertl and Elisabeth Ottawa in the Ministry of
Finance's Financial Markets Division. Ottawa noted that in
August 2006, Austria had implemented a domestic regulation,
which already incorporates all provisions of the EU's
Regulation on controls of cash entering or leaving the EU.
This regualtion is also in full compliance with FATF's
Special Recommendation IX. According to Ottawa, the GoA can
therefore implement the EU Regulation expeditiously.
