Beneficial ownership registries should be published as open data

Well, this is where we lead.

• http://www.access-info.org/documents/images/Closed_World_Company_Data.pdf
  • for quick summary, see chart on page 1
  • some quote: "No OGP country company register scores well in this survey, the best being the UK (from July), ironically followed by countries (the Czech Republic, Albania, Slovak Republic) that have a much shorter recent history of democratic government than many of the other countries with much lower scores."
  • or maybe article: http://www.access-info.org/en/open-government-data/242-closed-world-corporate-transparency

But having true owners hidden behind off-shore companies owning Slovak subsidiaries, we can still benefit from even more transparency.
