I'd been out of the loop on #beneficialownership, but it seems things are regressing... in the #EU for a change! Following the Nov 2022 #CJEU decision that #publicregisters were breaching the #rightoprivacy, https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2022/11/22/la-justice-europeenne-met-un-frein-a-la-transparence-financiere_6151134_3234.html, many countries started pulling out of the #AML Directive. The latest is #France, who pulled out #bénéficiaireseffectifs from "#opendata, because of the #CJEU decision". Later, it claimed it'd been a technical rather than political issue. TBC?
