,h4 ,,res4 #fga  ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of
 ,,representatives  ,october #ca1       
#bjai,mr4 ,cleaver submitted the        
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs 
,,resolution  ,urging the ,united ,arab 
,emirates to immediately end any        
activities enabling money laundering in 
violation of ,united ,states sanctions  
against ,iran4  ,whereas the ,united    
,arab ,emirates 7,,uae7 has undertaken  
efforts to coordinate with ,united      
,states partners to counter money       
laundering and terrorist financing and  
has participated in regional bodies to  
counter money laundering such as the    
,middle ,east and ,north ,africa        
,financial ,action ,task ,force2        
,whereas recent efforts by the ,,uae to 
restrain illicit money transfers remain 
insufficient in addressing concerns     
about the evasion of ,united ,states    
sanctions and money laundering2 ,whereas
 the ,department of ,state has          

highlighted the need for the ,,uae to   
continue increasing the resources       
devoted to investigating1 prosecuting   
and disrupting money laundering1        
according to the ,department's          
,narcotics ,control ,strategy ,report2  
,whereas the ,department of the         
,treasury's ,office of ,foreign ,assets 
,control 7,,ofac7 designated #aa        
entities and individuals involved in    
procurement on behalf of ,iran's        
ballistic missile program in #bjaf2     
,whereas1 in #bjaf1 ,,ofac sanctioned   
,mabrooka ,trading ,co ,,llc 7,mabrooka 
,trading7--based in the ,,uae--and its  
,china- and ,,uae-based network that    
have been involved in procuring goods   
for ,iran's ballistic missile program2  
,whereas ,,ofac targeted two ,iranian   
regime-linked networks pursuant to      
,executive ,order #acchb 7#bjje7 for    
engaging in covert procurement          
activities benefitting multiple ,iranian
 military organizations in ,august      
#bjai2 ,whereas the second network      

targeted by ,,ofac in ,august #bjai was 
led by ,seyed ,hossein ,shariat and     
procured various aluminum alloy products
 on behalf of components entities owned 
or controlled by ,iran's ,ministry of   
,defense and ,armed ,forces ,logistics2 
and ,whereas the ,,uae's lax enforcement
 of its antiproliferation export control
 laws have facilitated these violations 
of ,united ,states sanctions policy3    
,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that the ,house
 of ,representatives-- 7#a7 condemns the
 failure of the ,united ,arab ,emirates 
7,,uae7 to effectively counter money    
laundering activities conducted by      
,iranian companies to bypass ,united    
,states sanctions on ,iran2 and  7#b7   
urges the ,,uae to resolve existing     
shortcomings in its antimoney laundering
 laws and regulations1 as existing laws 
are not sufficient to deter the         
activities of rogue companies4
