(15)In order to prevent terrorist financing, measures with the purpose of freezing the funds and economic resources of certain persons, groups and entities have been taken, including Council Regulations (EC) No 2580/2001 10 , (EC) No 881/2002 11 and (EU) No 356/2010 12 . To the same end, measures with the purpose of protecting the financial system against the channelling of funds and economic resources for terrorist purposes have also been taken. Directive (EU) 2015/849 contains a number of such measures. Those measures do not, however, fully prevent terrorists or other criminals from accessing payment systems for transferring their funds.
