The aim of this study is to present the trends and effectiveness of money laundering countermeasures from the perspective of a number of suspicious transactions reported to the Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), a number of analysis results submitted to law enforcement authorities, and the typologies of cases in European Union Member States. In order to determine the impact of the joint effort in the fight against money laundering, we used descriptive statistics to process the data and case studies from annual reports of the European FIUs for 2018 and 2019. The results of our study highlight the increase in the number of suspicious transactions notices, as well as in their quality level. There is an increasing tendency towards information exchange between European Union countries regarding the suspicion of money laundering, but there is no stable trend for referring cases to law enforcement and other responsible institutions. Based on the available data, it can be concluded that the EU anti money laundering measures are efficient, but further steps are needed to achieve higher international coordination and cooperation.

反洗钱措施的效率：来自欧盟成员国的案例研究

本研究的目的是从向金融情报机构 (FIU) 报告的一些可疑交易、提交给执法当局的一些分析结果以及欧盟成员国的案件。为了确定联合打击洗钱活动的影响，我们使用描述性统计来处理欧洲金融情报机构 2018 年和 2019 年年度报告中的数据和案例研究。我们的研究结果强调了可疑交易通知的数量及其质量水平。欧盟国家之间关于涉嫌洗钱的信息交流的趋势越来越大，但将案件移交给执法部门和其他负责机构的趋势并没有稳定的趋势。根据现有数据，可以得出结论，欧盟反洗钱措施是有效的，但需要进一步采取措施以实现更高的国际协调与合作。
