Definition: EuroGroups Register (EGR)

Category: Statistical concept; Peer reviews

The EuroGroups Register (EGR) is a network of registers, consisting of a central register kept at Eurostat and registers in each EU Member State and in EFTA countries. The central register contains information about multinational enterprises groups (MNEs), which have statistically relevant financial and non-financial transnational operations in at least one of the European countries. Registers in the EU Member States and in EFTA countries contain information regarding MNEs active in the respective countries and are fully consistent with the central register. In practice both, Eurostat and European countries exchange confidential and non-confidential data on MNEs by EDI exclusively for statistical purposes. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-32-10-216-EN-C-EN.pdf Commission Regulation No 192/2009 on business registers for statistical purposes
