The European Finance Ministers, sitting as the Council of the EU, approved the recommendations of the EU Code of Conduct Group in relation to the updated list of non-cooperative jurisdictions. Three jurisdictions, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Seychelles were all added to Annex I (the so-called EU blacklist). British Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, and Marshall Islands were removed from the previous Annex I list (published in February 2023).
Annex II of the list (greylisted countries) was also updated with four jurisdictions removed from the state of play document: Thailand, Montserrat, Jordan and Qatar.
