Transparency International joins the Public Consultation on Draft Implementing Regulation for Open Data Directive and calls on the Commission to act on the promise to include a requirement to open company information. Now as the EU Commission drafts the Implementing Regulation, it is troublesome that only basic company information and company documents are considered for open publication.

What they argued
Transparency International EU is participating in this public consultation on the Open Data Directive, with respect to the list of high value datasets a set out in the Implementing Regulation. Recalling that European Parliament and the Council agreed in 2019 to add “Companies and Company Ownership” data to the list, we would like to draw attention to the current proposal of only providing basic company information…
Progress in tackling corruption across the EU has stalled over the past decade. The regions average score in the 2025 CPI has declined from 66 to 64, highlighting a widening gap between anti-corruption standards, their enforcement, and the integrity of those in power. Hindering the blocs response to the current geopolitical and economic context.
Transparency International, together with our Brussels office Transparency International EU, are pleased to submit feedback on the draft Implementing Regulation on the formats for the submission of beneficial ownership information to the Member States central registers.
1) Remark concerning the legal basis The chosen legal basis for EU action in the field of the fight against corruption is Article 83 of the TFEU, which concerns criminal matters. While corruption should indeed be treated as a serious crime, accompanied by appropriate sanctions, we would like to highlight that only Article 83 TFEU as a legal basis can be very limiting.
Transparency International EU (TI EU) believes that the ongoing evolution of the EU Anti-Fraud Architecture (AFA) presents a crucial opportunity to strengthen the protection of the Unions financial interests through greater cooperation, and institutional coherence between key anti-fraud actors, notably the European Public Prosecutors Office (EPPO) and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF).
Transparency International EU (TI-EU) welcomes the incept impact assessment and the issues identified with regards to Directive 2014/42/EU (Directive) and supports policy option 3. In particular, TI EU recommends the following reforms: Problem 1: The criminal offences included under the Directive should be aligned with that of Directive on Combating Money Laundering by Criminal Law 2018.
