4.34. The Eurostat FATS Task Force report (see footnote
60 above) recommended that the UBO be considered as the
first priority to define the level of control because it is the
most relevant. It observed that this principle can be very
complex to follow in practice, and thus it proposed that
initially the country of the first foreign parent could be used
as
a substitute, with the possibility of later obtaining data
on the basis of UBO to be explored. However, in a pilot
study, conducted in the framework of structural business
statistics, data were successfully collected on the UBO
basis by most participants. Also, the United States has
collected data on this basis for some time. In the light of
this
successful experience, the UBO basis is to be
recommended in the proposed OECD manual of economic
globalization indicators.
