<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Over the last few years, the UK has been at the centre of scandals involving companies registered at Companies House (the national company register) that are managed by people with fake identities.  The list of ‘fake’ company directors is said to include Bin Laden, Gaddafi, Mubarak and ‘Ottavio il ladro di galline’ [Ottavio the chicken thief], who declared his occupation as ‘truffatore’ [conman].  This would not be possible in Italy and in most other countries in Europe, as prior checks are carried out. The process is predominantly an online one in the UK. The person registering a company and the person responsible for checking the accuracy of the information given do not come into direct contact, with dangerous consequences for the entire economic system.  In 22 of the 28 EU countries, it is up to notaries to ensure that companies are set up safely and lawfully.  Policy in the UK focuses to a large extent on insurance; companies are obliged to take out insurance but not to have passed any prior checks.  Can the Commission, since it is aware of the ‘Doing Business 2018’ report in which Italy is ranked 46th, explain why the World Bank ranks the UK among the top countries, given the evident and serious problem it has of properly identifying who controls any given company?  Can it also say what it intends to do to resolve this matter?"
