[Taler] Electronic Money Issuer in the EU

[Andreas Ruf]

Hi all,

I am working for an Australian Research Institute that is currently 
experimenting with Chaumian electronic cash. I am currently looking into 
EU regulations to find out what would be involved to run our experiment 
here in Europe. I had a first discussion with Christian the other day 
and promised to post references to some of the relevant EU regulations 
and directives that I had come across.

Current Directives and regulation:
The E-Money Directive (EMD): 
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32009L0110&qid=1439390642899&from=EN
The Payment Services Directive (PSD): 
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32007L0064&from=EN
Wire Transfer Regulation: 
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2006:345:0001:0009:EN:PDF
Anti Money Laundering Directive: 
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32005L0060&from=EN

Updates of the above that have passed EU parliament, but are yet to be 
implemented by member states:
PSD2:

Wire Transfer Regulation: 
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32015R0847&qid=1439390897318&from=EN
AMLD4: 
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32015L0849&from=EN

Has anybody looked at these so far? In particular, I am currently 
looking at the Wire Transfer Regulation and am scratching my head how 
the anonymity of the payer that we are all looking to implement could 
work under this regulation. Any ideas or experiences?

Cheers,

Andreas
