North Korea poses threat to EU financial system: European Commission

European Commission lists North Korea a “high risk” third country, proposes additional scrutiny

North Korea is one of 11 countries listed by the EU's executive body in a document published supplementary to EU Directive 2015/849 - and if the listing is accepted - will be subject to further financial scrutiny.
