Strasbourg, 5 July 2016

Actually, the proposal and even the voting date has been on the table and matter of public record for the past 3 or 4 months. I also believe the laws won't go into effect until 1.Jan.2017.

The transposition date for the 4AMLD and the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2015/847 is 26 June 2017. However, the Commission has encouraged Member States to anticipate the transposition date of the 4AMLD, and this proposal amends that date to 1 January 2017 - The ACTUAL updated proposal [PDF]
