The AMLR is a directly applicable EU regulation that consolidates the substantive anti-money laundering requirements imposed on obliged entities. The reason for the choice of instrument is stated in the regulation itself:

…it is necessary that rules on matters currently covered in Directive (EU) 2015/849 which could be directly applicable by the obliged entities concerned are addressed in a Regulation in order to achieve the desired uniformity of application.
