European Commerce Registers’ Forum (ECRF)
www.ecrforum.org
The European Commerce Registers' Forum – ECRF, established in 2000 at Cardiff, is a nonprofit professional organization of cooperation, that aims to improve services offered by trade registers, by simplifying administrative procedures and creating a legal framework as uniform as possible, contributing to building a favorable environment for starting and carrying out innovative businesses.
To improve laws and regulations that point the activity of the trade register, ECRF organizes annual conferences that bring together all European members. In addition, ECRF promotes the experience exchange within working groups and draws up benchmarking studies in order to determine best practices, trends and developments in the field of registration in the trade register.
In this context, the participation of the National Trade Register Office (as a full member of the ECRF since 2004) at the activities of the Forum represents an acknowledgment of the positive evolution of NTRO, reflected by achieving the presidency of ECRF during 2012/2013.
Organizing the 16th ECRF annual conference in June 2013, in Bucharest, where met trade registers, members of ECRF, as well as representatives of other international organizations (Corporate Registers Forum - CRF, European Commission, World Bank, International Association of Commercial Administrators - IACA), was a good opportunity to increase the international awareness of NTRO.
