The E.U.’s member states have unanimously rejected a list of countries that have been deemed by the European Commission to pose a high risk of money laundering and terrorist financing.

The list of 23 countries, which includes Saudi Arabia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, includes countries considered high risk because they do not take adequate measures to prevent the financing of terrorist groups and money laundering. Member states dealing with the countries on the list are supposed to take special steps to address the higher risk of money laundering and terrorist financing.
