Under the Egmont Group Principles, information exchange among financial intelligence units (FIUs) should be conducted:

This choice contradicts the fundamental principle of reciprocity, which is essential for fostering trust and cooperation between FIUs. The expectation of reciprocity ensures that information shared is used responsibly and that the receiving FIU is also willing to provide information when needed.

Limiting information exchange to situations where the foreign FIU's status is related to law enforcement undermines the broader objectives of the Egmont Group. The principles advocate for information sharing based on relevant cases and mutual interest, rather than restricting it to specific legal contexts.

While some limits may be necessary for privacy and security reasons, this choice implies a rigid approach to information sharing that conflicts with the principles of openness and flexibility advocated by the Egmont Group. The focus should be on the quality and relevance of information rather than strict quantifiable limits.
