Recital 8

(8) Therefore, it is important to ensure that certain checks are carried out in all Member States in order to guarantee a high level of accuracy and reliability of documents and information, while at the same time respecting Member States’ legal systems and legal traditions. It is also necessary that such checks be mandatory, not only for fully online formation of companies, but also for any other forms of formation of companies. Similarly, such checks should also be carried out in Member States that still permit the use of other filing methods in addition to online filing, in order to subject all information entered into the register to the same level of controls. Such checks and other requirements should be adapted to the specific characteristics of other forms of formation of companies. For example, online templates are only used by applicants as part of the procedure for fully online formation of companies.
