44As regards the objectives pursued by Directive 2017/1132, it follows from recitals 7 and 8 and from Article 1 of that directive that the purpose of the disclosure provided for by that directive is to protect in particular the interests of third parties in relation to companies limited by shares and limited liability companies, since the only safeguards they offer to third parties are their assets. To that end, the basic documents of a company should be disclosed in order for third parties to be able to ascertain their contents and other information concerning the company, especially particulars of the persons who are authorised to bind the company (see, to that effect, judgment of 4 October 2024, Agentsia po vpisvaniyata, C‑200/23, EU:C:2024:827, paragraph 77).
