Recital (11) · Council Regulation (EU) 2026/415

(11)Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2019/1024 of the European Parliament and of the Council^note and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138^note, information on companies and company ownership is included in the list of high-value datasets. This ensures that public data of the highest socio-economic potential are made available for re-use with minimum legal and technical restriction and free of charge. Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 should therefore be adapted to reflect the availability of such data on companies and their high value for statistical purposes and other ESCB functions. In addition to that public data and in line with the principles of cost-effectiveness, minimisation of the reporting burden and high output quality, the members of the ESCB should be able to share with reporting agents core reference data comprising specific attributes on legal persons, branches and institutional units. The conditions under which it should be possible to use core reference data collected by the members of the ESCB for statistical and other purposes should therefore be specified.
