Niue Pre-ME Meeting
The mutual evaluation (ME) of Niue hit another milestone last week, with a pre-onsite meeting held virtually from 24-25 October 2024. The meeting provided an opportunity for the assessment team and the Niue authorities to discuss in detail unresolved technical compliance issues, as well as talk about the scoping note and logistics for the upcoming onsite.
The assessment team for the ME for Niue consists of the following experts from the APG region:
- Moira Konrote, Fiji (legal assessor)
- Anna Liza Guevarra, Philippines (financial assessor)
- Epenesa Laban, Samoa (financial assessor)
- Jimmy Sendersley, Solomon Islands (FIU/LE assessor)
The team is supported by Carolyn Marsden, Caroline Bicheno and Marnie Campbell of the APG Secretariat.
Over the coming weeks the assessment team will work on refining the next draft of Niue’s technical compliance annex and preparing for the onsite, which will be held in Alofi, Niue, from 25 November 2024 to 5 December 2024. Well done to the assessment team and Niue for all their hard work to reach this point in the process.
