Petr Ježek
Born in Prague in 1965. A graduate of Prague’s University of Economics, Petr Ježek joined his country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as a diplomat. For some ten years, he held relatively high posts related to the country’s ties with the EU, e.g. heading the Foreign Ministry’s European Integration Department and serving as Deputy State Secretary for European Affairs. He also worked as chief of staff of then Czech Prime Minister Vladimír Špidla. In 2014, Petr Ježek was elected Member of the European Parliament on the ballot of the ANO 2011 party.

Yesterday, on the 24 of September, the LIBE committee of the European Parliament (committee on Civil Liberty Justice and Home Affair) formally endorsed the opening of the trilogue negotiations on the European Commission proposal for a Directive on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing. This vote also confirms the European parliament's negotiating team and thus, my participation in the trilogues between the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament, as a shadow (ALDE) rapporteur.
The European Parliament adopted an ambitious position in March 2014. This represents a big step towards more transparency in the financial system but there is still a long way to go and it is crucial that we stick to what we achieved few months ago as much as possible.
