Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Since the adoption of the Regulation, international capital flows have both intensified and gained in complexity. The increased use of special purpose vehicles and legal constructions for channelling capital flows have made it more difficult to monitor such flows in order to ensure their adequate traceability and to avoid double or multiple accounting. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 should therefore be updated so as to improve transparency and granularity concerning BOP, ITS and FDI by enhancing reporting and publication requirements to take advantage of, but not limited to, recent innovations, such as the global legal entity identifier (GLEI), which forms part of the OECD’s proposals for improving reporting on financial account information, as well as by using recent legal innovations such as the registries of ultimate beneficial ownership established in the framework of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive

(13b) Where methodologically possible, the statistics produced in the context of Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 should make it possible to distinguish greenfield FDI from FDI resulting in takeovers which for a given period do not increase the gross capital formation in the Member State or do not increase the working capital of the economic unit concerned by the change in ownership
