The financial data relate to both consolidated and unconsolidated statements of  companies. For consolidated accounts, information should be provided on the  consolidation method used.  This information must include the full name of the shareholders/owners (legal  persons), the percentage of their shares/control and the relevant date. Historical data: this information must be available for the past 10 years. Would the  data retention policy in any country(ies) be less, the longest duration nationally  allowed shall be provided. The database must contain the following data:  This information must include the Company name, complete address, national ID  number/VAT number and main sectoral activity of the company (4 digit, NACE rev.2,  ISIC may be used for companies outside EU), secondary sectoral activities of the  company (4 digit, NACE rev.2, ISIC may be used for companies outside EU).  Tenderers not able to fulfil the minimum requirements (points 1 to 6) will be  rejected as non-compliant. If any of the required business information (points 1 to 4) is not legally available/  not for the duration requested in a particular EU Member State or in the United  Kingdom, it shall not be treated as a failure to fulfil the minimum requirement.  Tenderers shall list in their technical offer such cases (if any).  The contractor shall supply these data by providing the Agency with unlimited on-line  access to its database for one corporate user-ID (one license 1 ).  The Agency aims at acquiring the business data that are relevant and useful for the  assessment of the SME status of the companies at the time of the submission date of their  chemicals registration dossiers: the Agency is now reviewing registrations submitted in  2016-2019.
