Tunisia's National Registry of Enterprises (RNE) has become the first non-European member to join the European Business Registers Association (EBRA) as a full member. This development was announced by the Radio nationale. The EBRA is an association of business and company registers, beneficial ownership registers, and specialized bodies involved in the registration and dissemination of legal information.
The EBRA currently has 42 members and serves as a platform for exchanging best practices and developments in the field of registers. The RNE's membership is expected to enhance institutional and professional cooperation with other members. This cooperation will facilitate the sharing of Tunisia's experience and access to international expertise in areas such as digital transformation, data quality, transparency, and system interoperability.
The RNE's participation in the EBRA will also focus on issues related to the identification of beneficial owners. The association's work aims to promote reliable access to legal information and support economic transparency. By joining the EBRA, the RNE can compare its data management methods with those of other countries and explore digital services for businesses and users.
The EBRA was established in 2019 through the merger of the European Business Register and the European Commerce Registers Forum. The association has a history of cooperation among specialized bodies. The RNE already participates in other international networks, including the Corporate Registers Forum and the Francophone Alliance of Commercial Registers.
The RNE's membership in the EBRA expands its institutional framework for exchanging with its counterparts. The benefits of this membership will be measured through concrete cooperation, expertise exchange, and potential advancements in data and digital services. The RNE's participation may also facilitate the development of its services and improve the quality of information provided to users.
The EBRA membership does not automatically imply the establishment of an automatic interconnection system between the RNE and foreign registers. Any potential interoperability will depend on the work and agreements between the institutions concerned. The RNE's membership in the EBRA is part of its efforts to modernize and improve its services.
The RNE's entry into the EBRA as a full member marks a significant milestone in its development. The association's work and the RNE's participation are expected to promote transparency, data quality, and cooperation among registers. The benefits of this membership will be closely watched by stakeholders in Tunisia and beyond.
