The invitations to Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, which will take effect at FATF's next meeting in September in Portugal, respond to a call by ministers from FATF member governments in 1998 for a worldwide alliance against money laundering. The invitations to Argentina, Brazil and Mexico follow a political commitment by the governments of these countries to endorse the forty FATF Re-commendations, to undergo two mutual evaluations and to play an active anti-money laundering role in their regions. Full membership in the FATF will be effective upon successful completion of a first mutual evaluation. Announcement of the invitations to the three Latin American countries was made in Tokyo on 2 July 1999.http://www.oecd.org/fatffatf.contact@oecd.org
