The European Commission invites stakeholders to answer the questions put forward in the consultation document, which are aimed at receiving insight on the current provisions and possible policy changes. The scope of the consultation is wide as it allows for individual citizens, companies and public authorities to answer the 32 questions put forward. The questions are also wide ranging and concern issues relating to conflicts of interest and transparency to increasing efficiency in cross-boarder business.
