"As you know, I am an active campaigner for an ever more integrated internal market that makes day-to-day life easier for hundreds of millions of European citizens. I therefore approved the proposal for a directive on the interconnection of commercial registers by my colleague from the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), Kurt Lechner, and presented by our Internal Market Commissioner, Michel Barnier. With a background in the private sector, I know how useful it is to centralise this information. What is more, these days many companies carry out cross-border activities and need to have standardised, clear and transparent information about their partners, customers, competitors and so on. Not only are registers not standardised but, depending on the country, they may be national, regional or even local. It is a waste of time and money as the administrative costs associated with these disparities are valued at EUR 69 million a year. The information in this new register will be available in the 23 languages of the European Union via a single European electronic platform. We hope that from now on the Member States, under the Council of Ministers, will follow our recommendations which pose a key challenge for all European entrepreneurs."@en1
