No hearing has been set by parliament, so final wording and implementation is yet undecided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The white paper is based on MLD4, including the latest amendment from May 2018. It is proposed that a central Ultimate Beneficial Owner register be established to which <u>all<\/u> Norwegian companies would have to file information as to natural persons directly or indirectly ultimately owning or controlling the company. A 25 % or higher interest is normally an indication of such ownership or control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if a company has not identified or have inconclusive knowledge of any natural person(s) as ultimate beneficial owners, filings must be made. It is proposed that in such cases the management of the company (presumably directors and CEO) shall be designated as beneficial owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><u>Anyone<\/u> will have access to registered information, and non-adherence to the act is a criminal offence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/haavind.stage01.dekodes.no\/content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/iStock-486100439.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2158\" title=\"Silhouettes Of Business People Around The Conference Table With\"\/><figcaption>Silhouettes of business people around the conference table with a view of urban scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Companies performing statutory AML KYC shall even have access to the internal evaluations made by registered companies in relation its ultimate beneficial owners.
