Statute for a European association

The Commission's amended proposal incorporated 14 of the European Parliament's 25 amendments fully or in part, including, in particular: -extension of the rights granted to the European Association to call on the generosity of the public for its financing; -the possibility of setting up 'joint' European Associations of natural and legal persons; -extension of the European association's sources of finance to all those open to associations in the State where they have their registered place of business and also in Member States where they have establishments. Under pressure from the Member States, the Commission has also tightened up the conditions for transferring the EA's seat from one Member State to another. �
