Question 2021 — businesses

Summary

Mr. Arnaud Viala questions the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the worrying effects of Article L. 561-46 of the Monetary and Financial Code which provides that companies and legal entities, and among others, economic interest groups (EIGs), are required to obtain and keep accurate and up-to-date information relating to their beneficial owners. Indeed, the objectives targeted by this article appear unintelligible in view of what exists and in view of the functions of structures such as GIEs. They lose their interests when the administrative burden imposed exceeds the benefits that can be expected. Indeed, the information requested increases the administrative workload for organizations not intended to make profits, which could lead to a loss of the advantages built by the GIE model. In addition, the freedom of movement of partners in the companies that make up the GIE and in the GIE itself portends a number of excessive procedures. It is important to note that many farmers benefit from these groups, the same ones who are sometimes the only ones working within their companies. Consequently, the desired desire for transparency goes beyond common sense and reaches organizations irrelevant. He asks for precise clarification of the Government's plans concerning the application of the article to structures, in particular those which bring together agricultural operators, and therefore all small businesses which cannot be subject to such constraints.
