In order to avoid divergent approaches towards the implementation of the concept of legitimate interest for the purpose of accessing beneficial ownership information, the procedures for the recognition of such a legitimate interest should be harmonised.

To that end, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to set out harmonised templates and procedures.
