What is an EEA company (European Economic Area)?
An EEA company is one to which the First Company Law Directive (68/151/EEC) applies. For EEA companies, you are required to give details of the register where the company file is kept (including the relevant state), plus the register (central register, commercial register, company register) as mentioned in Article 3 of the Directive. An EEA company is not determined by whether it is geographically situated within one of the countries comprising the EEA.
