Representatives of the anti-crime organizations from around the world gathered in The Hague for the first global forum to enhance international cooperation to combat the smuggling of diamonds.
Europol, the European law enforcement agency, which is based in the Dutch capital, has adopted a three-day conference, which began on Tuesday last week. The event brought together senior law enforcement and customs agencies, regulators, experts on anti-money laundering and experts from the private sector to combat illegal trade and smuggling.
"This forum is an important step forward in our mission to undermine the criminal activities that affect not only the US but the entire world", - said Stephen Richardson, Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The forum will provide a platform for exchange of information and the creation of new links between the FBI said in a statement. It will also strengthen the partnership of law enforcement agencies that can help in establishing, liquidation and arresting criminal networks connected with the illicit trade in diamonds.

At the meeting in New Delhi on February 22 the Ministry of Finance of India has decided that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Securities and Exchange Board of India, SEBI) will deal with the regulation of the alleged Indian spot gold exchange. Discussion was also attended by representatives of the government, banks and refining plants.
The slow progress in the implementation of the gold monetization scheme in India was also discussed at the meeting. The participants decided to hold a separate meeting to develop a plan for the modernization of gold monetization scheme.
However, the final decision on the establishment of the National Council for precious metals (National Bullion Board), which would be engaged in the development of the gold market in India, has been postponed.
The Ministry of Finance has asked the SEBI to develop the project for gold exchange spot gold trading. Thus, market participants expect that all legal requirements, including property rights, will comply with SEBI.
Bombay Stock Exchange (Bombay Stock Exchange, BSE) and the Indian Association of gold and jewelers (India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd, IBJA) hire a professional consulting firm Ernst & Young to develop a project for the exchange spot gold trading.
The company has already provided a preliminary report on which was drawn up a plan for the development of the stock exchange, sent to the Government of India. The SEBI, is likely to soon review the document. A study of the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad on the gold market was also discussed by the Board. Meanwhile, the last word in the creation of the exchange will be precisely because of the SEBI.
