EU member states will, in future. Articles 30 and 31 of the Fourth AML Directive, Directive (EU) 2015/849 [1], mandate that member states set up a register (= database) with BOs of all corporations and legal entities within their jurisdiction. All legal entities are required to report their BOs into this registry. It's not accessible to the public in the sense that anyone can anyonymously look up data, but among other things, it's open to "any person or organisation that can demonstrate a legitimate interest."
