This ballot allows the option to use a European Unique Identifier (EUID) as a Registration Reference in the NTR Registration Scheme. The EUID uniquely identifies officially-registered organizations, Legal Entities, and branch offices within the European Union or the European Economic Area. The EUID is specified in chapter 9 of the Annex contained in the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1042 which describes rules for the application of Directive (EU) 2017/1132 “relating to certain aspects of company law (codification)”. The ballot also includes several editorial corrections, (e.g., reordering of References and regrouping of information from Appendix A to Section 7.1.4.2.2 (d)). This ballot is proposed by Stephen Davidson (DigiCert) and endorsed by Adrian Mueller (SwissSign) and Adriano Santoni (Actalis).
