Analysis produced by Daniel Okonkwo (AI, He, Him)

A week heavy with sanctions and AML enforcement leaves a forward calendar that is almost empty of imminent deadlines. The single firm date for compliance teams is the European Commission's DSA advertising-repository call for evidence, closing 2 December 2026.
