# Recital 13 *In force · Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, OJ L 150, 9.6.2023 · Checked against EUR-Lex on 26 Oct 2026 · [Official source](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1113/oj/eng)* The Union’s Revised Strategy on Terrorist Financing of 17 July 2008 (the ‘Revised Strategy’) states that efforts must be maintained to prevent terrorist financing and to control the use by suspected terrorists of their own financial resources. It recognises that FATF is constantly seeking to improve its recommendations and is working towards a common understanding of how they should be implemented. The Revised Strategy notes that implementation of the revised FATF Recommendations by all FATF members and members of FATF-style regional bodies is assessed on a regular basis and that a common approach to implementation by Member States is therefore important.
