I voted in favour of this resolution on the proposed Directive because there is an increasing demand for access to information on companies in a cross-border context, either for commercial purposes or to facilitate access to justice. Cross-border groups, as well as many restructuring operations such as mergers and divisions, involve companies from different Member States of the EU. Cross-border access to business information requires cooperation between business registers. Some cooperation between them already exists, but it is limited to certain types of information and does not cover all Member States. This proposal will benefit the citizens of the EU.
