This event is organised by the Jacques Delors Centre and the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). The Jacques Delors Centre has recently joined the European Sanctions and Illicit Finance Monitoring and Analysis Network (SIFMANet), a collaborative network led by RUSI. The network aims to bolster the response of EU member states to the national security threat posed by illicit finance to democracies and to provide viable policy recommendations.
