34The provisions of Directive 2015/849, which are preventive in nature, seek to establish, taking a risk-based approach, a body of preventive and dissuasive measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing effectively (see, by analogy, judgment of 2 September 2021, LG and MH (Self-laundering), C‑790/19, EU:C:2021:661, paragraph 69 and the case-law cited), in order to prevent, as is apparent from recital 1 in the preamble to that directive, flows of illicit money from being able to damage the integrity, stability and reputation of the financial sector and threaten the internal market of the European Union as well as international development.
