Accessible font Atkinson Hyperlegible improves readability.
We are now using the Atkinson Hyperlegible font, which is named after the founder of the Braille Institute, J. Robert Atkinson.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has released its findings from a review of competent authorities’ risk-based approaches and governance systems to combat money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) risks in the supervised entities of the banking sector.
In their approach to supervision of financial services, the report indicates that progress has been made by the supervisors, with some authorities implementing significant changes in their Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CFT) risk management systems within banks.
Through its promotion of a holistic approach to supervision, the EBA’s efforts have resulted in tangible progress by many authorities in addressing ML/TF risks through prudential supervision and improving their systems and controls. To effectively tackle ML/TF risks and ensure compliance,
most supervisors in the financial services sector must strengthen their supervisory processes, and adopt a risk-based approach in their respective banking sectors.
The Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economy, in collaboration with the Intellectual Property Institute of Luxembourg (IPIL GIE), is organising today, Tuesday 25 April,
the 15th edition of the Luxembourg Intellectual Property Day. Under the title “Intellectual Property, an economic stake”, the event will focus on the interest of intellectual property in
the context of the dual green and digital transition of the national, European and international economy.
This is a good opportunity to recall a recent judgment of the Luxembourg Court of Cassation (Judgment No. 02/23). In it, the Court of Cassation clarified the issue of the transfer of
intellectual property rights, stating that in the absence of a written document, the transfer of an author’s economic rights is deemed not to have taken place, even in the context of
an employment contract.
