The term also includes a natural person (persons) who exercises final and effective control over a legal entity or foreign legal arrangement.

The authorized persons of the legal entities are responsible for the accuracy, adequacy and up-to-dateness of the data entered in the Register, and the registration is done only electronically, through the Internet, whereby the applicants are identified and the applications are signed electronically.
