Who wouldn't want their business listed in an important sounding registry? And because there is no obvious and clear mention of any fees, it's probably totally free, right?We are compiling information for the EU BUSINESS REGISTER. We wish to be able to inform other EU companies about your activities. In order to list your company on the Internet for EU Businesses, just fill in and return the form. Additional info regarding your company that can make your profile up to date is very welcome. We thank you for your cooperation.
