In particular, the Union adopted and notified to the Republic of Moldova Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EU) 2015/847 of the European Parliament and of the Council.\n(4)\nThe Republic of Moldova continues the process of approximating its legislation to the Union acquis, in accordance with the timelines and priorities set out in Annex XXVIII-A. It is therefore necessary to update Annex XXVIII-A in order to ensure that the evolution of the Union acquis listed therein with respect to money laundering is promptly and efficiently integrated in the ongoing process of approximation, in accordance with Article 449 of the Agreement.\n(5)\nDirective (EU) 2015/849 and Regulation (EU) 2015/847 should therefore be added to the list set out in Annex XXVIII-A.\n(6)\nDirective 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directive 2006/70/EC should be removed from the list set out in Annex XXVIII-A with effect from 26 June 2017.\n(7)\nArticle 436(3) of the Agreement provides that the EU-Republic of Moldova Association Council (‘the Association Council’) is to have the power to update or amend the Annexes to the Agreement.\n(8)\nPursuant to Article 438(2) of the Agreement, the Association Council may delegate to the Association Committee any of its powers, including the power to take binding decisions.\n(9)\nBy Decision No 3/2014 the Association Council delegated the power to update or amend the Annexes to the Agreement which relate, inter alia, to Chapter 6 (Establishment, trade in services and electronic commerce) of Title V (Trade and Trade-related Matters) of the Agreement to the Association Committee meeting in Trade configuration, to the extent that there are no specific provisions in Chapter 6 relating to the update or the amendment of those Annexes. There are no specific provisions in Chapter 6 relating to the update or the amendment of the Annexes.\n(10)\nAnnex XXVIII-A should therefore be updated accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:\nDone at …,\nFor the Association Committee\nThe Chair",
