Pursuant to Section 4(2)(e)(2) and (3)(g) of the RPVS Act: “The following information shall be entered in the register about a natural person or legal entity that is a public sector partner: details of the authorized person, including the name or business name, registered office and identification number of the organization, if it is a legal entity.”
Is it necessary to prepare all documentation required for entry in the RPVS (in particular the agreement on the performance of the authorized person's obligations, the verification document, the authorized person's declaration) again, indicating the new/changed details of the authorized person (e.g., new business name)?
OPINION OF THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE OF THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC:
In this case, as with a change in the management or ownership structure of a public sector partner, it is not necessary to change this information separately in the register of public sector partners. When the ZRPVS was adopted, it was assumed that the registers would be linked to a single reference register – the register of legal entities – on the basis of which the changed data would be automatically transferred to other registers. If this interconnection has not been established, authorized persons cannot be required to fulfill this obligation, as it would be an obligation “beyond the scope of the law.” Technically, it is possible to make the changes via the electronic service “change of public sector partner”, but in this case it is neither appropriate nor necessary to attach new documents containing the changed data (i.e. a new agreement, declaration or verification document).
