Recital 19
(19) Although information about groups of companies that need to prepare consolidated financial statements under Directive 2013/34/EU is included in those statements, there is a need to facilitate the public accessibility of such information. Financial statements are often only available for a fee, and stakeholders need to know about the existence of a group of companies, and about how to find and how to interpret that information in the consolidated financial statements. Publicly available information about groups of companies through the system of interconnection of registers guarantees enhanced transparency and easy access to that information. Availability of that information through the system of interconnection of registers would also make it possible to automatically link a company to other companies that are part of the same group of companies, thanks to their EUID, and to provide access to further information about each company within a group of companies.
