Ordføreren forsvarer endvidere, at der i det nye direktiv kan kræves legitimation af mæglere, notarer, eksterne revisorer og advokater, medmindre de repræsenterer en klient i en retssag eller er juridiske rådgivere.
The rapporteur also states, by way of justification, that the new directive provides for the possibility of requiring proof of identity from estate agents, notaries, external accountants and legal consultants, unless they represent their clients in legal proceedings or provide legal advice.
