Recital 33

Where the reporting of discrepancies by FIUs and other competent authorities would jeopardise an analysis of a suspicious transaction or an on-going criminal investigation, the FIUs or other competent authorities should delay the reporting of the discrepancy until the moment at which the reasons for not reporting cease to exist. Furthermore, FIUs and other competent authorities should not report any discrepancy when this would be contrary to any confidentiality provision of national law or would constitute a tipping-off offence.
