To ensure effective verification of information on companies’ beneficial ownership in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Associations, amend the company registration process so as to require – whenever a legal entity seeks to register or change its entry – additional information on beneficial ownership, notably (a) the type of beneficial ownership, (b) the percentage of each beneficial owner’s interest, (c) a description of the ownership structure in case a legal entity is not directly and wholly owned by its members/shareholders, and (d) a reasoned explanation in case no beneficial owner can be stated (MFA first instalment)
