Information on company register’s inquiry of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)
Pursuant to Art. 22 Para. 1 of the Transparency Guideline 2004/109/EC, the ESMA
has established technical regulation standards, according to which the company register
is required to request the LEI of the concerned company when transmitting documents.
Beyond that, according to Art. 7 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1437,
starting 1.1.2017, it is the duty of issuers to disclose the LEI when submitting documents
to the company register.
If your company does not yet have an LEI, you
can apply for it at one of the following international issuing agencies, but also
at the Legal Entity Identifier Register (LEIReg) of the Bundesanzeiger Verlag (Publisher
of the Federal Gazette) at www.leireg.de.
Worldwide, the LEI is a valid
identification number for an independent legal entity on the financial market, which
helps to clearly identify every contractual partner and every financial transaction.
It was introduced at the initiative of the G20, in order to increase transparency
in international financial transactions. The LEI can enhance internal risk management
and facilitate the implementation of compliance requirements.
