The Commission wants to facilitate the cross-border activities of non-profit associations in the EU
September 2023On September 5th, 2023, the Commission adopted a proposal aimed at facilitating the cross-border activities of non-profit associations in the European Union. The proposal aims to introduce a "legal form of a European cross-border association (ECBA)".
The aim: "reduce legal and administrative burden when it comes to the recognition and establishment of non-profit associations engaging in activities in another Member State. Once established in one Member State, an ECBA will be recognised automatically and will be able to engage in activities in all Member States, including economic activities, thereby allowing non-profit associations to unleash their full societal and economic potential in the EU. ", reads the Commission's press release.
For the time being, this Directive is a draft.
