08/09/23 (Agence Europe) – The European Commission is extending its public consultation on the creation of a European statute for non-profit associations. Stakeholders can send in their contributions until 1 November. The Commission’s proposal for a directive was put forward on 5 September (see EUROPE 13243/13) but has not yet been translated into all the EU’s official languages. It aims to simplify the transnational activities of associations, in particular through a European statute recognised in all Member States. The Commission has already received 64 comments from the public on this initiative. See the consultation: https://aeur.eu/f/8ho (LM)
