Recital 44 a (new)
(44a) While certain goods registered under national law could be attractive commodities for criminals to launder the proceeds of their illicit activities, money- laundering prevention also needs to adhere to the principle of proportionality. Setting up a central registry to collect ownership information in relation to high-value goods, would constitute a disproportionate intrusion into the privacy of large parts of the population. Therefore, this is an avenue that should not be pursued.
