Applying for entry in the commercial register for EEIGs

Description

A European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) may be formed by companies and other entities governed by public or private law in accordance with the national law of a Member State. It may also be formed by natural persons who exercise an industrial, commercial, craft, agricultural or professional activity in the Community or provide other services there.

The articles of association of an EEIG must contain the name, registered office, object and, where applicable, the name, registration number and place of registration of each member of the association and the duration of the association, unless it is indefinite.

This agreement must be entered in the register provided for this purpose by each Member State. Registration shall confer full legal capacity on the EEIG throughout the Community.

Any formation or dissolution of an EEIG is also published in the Official Journal of the European Union for information purposes.

Registered office
