Hi, I checked the legislation in Belgium for the creation of a non-profit organization.
Basically, you need: 1. 3 people who form the organization. 2. Their names and signatures, plus a charter of the organization, which must be deposited in a court of law. The 3 persons need not be present, they must not have the Belgian identity. What needs to be stipulated in the charter is described in detail (in human-readable language) in freely downloadable documents of the Belgian government; I've read one, it's not so diffucult. 3. It must be published in the Belgian 'Staatsblad' - the official communications of the government. Steps 2 and 3 together should cost at most 137 EUR (in 2006, that is...). 4. A list of active members must be deposited in a court of law. This is free of charge. That's it. No lawyer is required for all this. After that, each year a balance must be presented, this is also free of charge. Michael. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
