BIIA is adding its own alert: 

The EU Business Register is soliciting for inclusion in its publication.   Address and fax are the same as indicated in the European Trade Register.  BIIA has received this solicitation on January 22, 2014.

20130709_EUBusinessRegisterNote 1:  Note that, according to this company, you only need to fill in your details and send the form to get an update of your details (1).  Note 2: Be aware that by signing this document your request becomes an insertion and you are entitled to pay the sum of € 995 for 3 years!

We accessed the website of the EU Business Register and found hardly any listing.  We searched for the names of European information companies.  Only one in Slovakia came up.  How they got duped into a listing is beyond comprehension.
