(34)It is not the objective of this amending Directive to require undertakings to disclose intellectual capital, intellectual property, know-how or the results of innovation that would qualify as trade secrets as defined in Directive (EU) 2016/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council 22 . Reporting requirements provided for in this amending Directive should therefore be without prejudice to Directive (EU) 2016/943.
