French term or phrase: paradis reglementaires
I am translating a text relating to anti-money laundering procedures and have come across this term, I have found tax haven for paradis fiscale, would this also be a tax haven or some kind of legislative/regulatory haven???
Suggestions please?!??

neutral  Catharine Cellier-Smart: a 'paradis réglementaire' wil generally be an OFC, but not all OFCs are tax havens or 'paradis réglementaires'
