(AFX-Focus) 2001-09-22 15:29 GMT: ECOFIN EU to list bank accounts
suspected of being used by terrorists

LIEGE, Belgium (AFX) - The EU is to draw up a list of bank accounts used
or suspected of being used to finance terrorism by Oct 16, so it can
contribute it to the international effort against terrorism, EU finance
ministers council chairman Didier Reynders said during the half-yearly
Ecofin meeting. 

Member states are to provide their national data to the European
Commission which will compile the list for the EU in time for a joint
meeting of Justice and Home Affairs ministers that day, he said in
comments elaborating on agreements by ministers last night ahead of the
EU anti-terrorism summit in Brussels. 

The ministers agreed to push through a decision enabling orders to
freeze suspicious assets to be applied throughout the EU. 

The aim of the Oct 16 report is to provide concrete evidence to be used
in the international fight against terrorism and its financing, Reynders
said. 

"We need to know the number of accounts and type of accounts frozen" in
EU countries or in those applying UN resolutions, Reynders said. 

The EU will then provide its list to other countries in an intensified
information exchange between countries combating terrorism, he said. 

As part of the campaign, the EU ministers Friday night specifically said
they will act "to secure the prompt ratification and implementation of
UN resolution 1333," which deals with measures against Afghanistan and
the Taliban and notably requires states to freeze Osama bin Laden's
funds and other financial assets, as well as those of his Al-Qaida
organisation. 

Separately, Reynders added the European Commission is to draw up another
report by Oct 16 into evidence in different member states of unusual
trading patterns or possible insider trading ahead of the Sept 11
suicide attacks on the US. 

"It is more important to have clear and detailed information than
information in general terms," he said. 

"We have asked the supervisory bodies in every member state to look into
this and we are hoping to have their reports by mid-October....We don't
want to make any judgements or statements until we have a full picture
of the investigations," Reynders added. 

He cited France and Belgium as two countries conducting such
investigations. 

Bundesbank president Ernst Welteke added he had a report of "bizarre"
trading patterns, notably in oil and gold futures.  This "could not have
been planned and carried out without a certain knowledge," he said.
