The European Commission has proposed that seven new countries, including Saudi Arabia, be added to the European Union's blacklist of countries that do not fight sufficiently against money laundering and terrorist financing.

The 28 EU member states have a maximum of two months to adopt the list.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Guyana, Uganda and Vanuatu, were removed from the list, reports Reuters.

Several EU countries, as well as the United States of America, resented the inclusion of some countries, especially Saudi Arabia, on the list because of their economic interests.

In addition to Riyadh, Panama, Nigeria and four US territories - American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam - were added to the list, reports Tanjug.

Also on the list are Libya, Botswana, Ghana, Samoa, Bahamas, Afghanistan, North Korea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia and Yemen.
