Austrian EURAM Bank Winding Down- Payouts only after AML Checks
We've been receiving numerous requests from EURAM Bank clients seeking assistance with refunds from the Deposit Guarantee Scheme following the prohibition of business operations by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA).
🔒 Key Points:
- Official stoppage of payments declared.
- Deposit Guarantee Scheme to reimburse deposits up to €100,000 per depositor with potential higher limits under specific conditions.
- Einlagensicherung AUSTRIA tasked with managing pay-outs.
- Anti-money laundering checks to precede disbursements, with client data shared with the AML Notification Office and Austrian Police, a potentially impactful and unprecedented step for many clients. Legal actions and file inspections are recommended.
Our team stands ready to provide support during this challenging time.
European Union sanctions against the Russian Federation
The European Union's sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus have presented the Austrian economy with complex challenges and numerous risks since February 2022. Business relationships with Russia that violate sanctions or an embargo can not only result in heavy administrative penalties, but can also be punishable by law and thus carry the threat of imprisonment. Our International Desk, led by partner Lukas Roeper and associate Victoria Fischl, supports domestic companies in navigating the sanctions jungle as effectively as possible.
Austria aims to be climate neutral by 2040
Austria aims to be climate neutral by 2040. However, the crisis in Ukraine has caused energy prices to skyrocket, posing an acute problem for our economy. At Druck Medien Tag on October 13, Dominik Kurzmann, head of our Energy Law Practice Group and university lecturer in banking and energy law at the University of Vienna, will explain what it will take to achieve the energy transition without leaving the Austrian economy behind.
#135 – Dominik Kurzmann – Energy Communities
When establishing energy communities, there are a number of legal and tax considerations to bear in mind. The choice of the ideal legal form depends on many factors, such as the membership structure or the type of facility. The key issues relating to this topic are explained by Dr. Dominik Kurzmann, partner at PHH Rechtsanwälte.
Practical Handbook on Energy Communities and Alternative Energy Projects
Energy communities can only function and the energy transition can only succeed if renewable energy projects are implemented. This handbook therefore examines the key practical aspects of implementing alternative energy projects—from a legal and tax perspective as well as from the perspective of banking practice.
