(9)EFRAG is taking up the role of the ‘single European accounting voice’ in the global arena. In that capacity, EFRAG provides input to the IASB’s standard-setting process. In order for EFRAG to fulfil such a role, it should be exposed to all possible views held in the Union in the course of due process, whereby national standard-setters, governments and regulators as well as other stakeholders, play an essential role given the significant differences of opinion that already exist between Member States and various stakeholders. All interactions of EFRAG with the IASB should be fully transparent and any decision taken by EFRAG should be after fully consulting national standard-setters.
