EICF Transfer Process to Belgium Complete
On the 16 of October and at their new EICF registered address (Rue Washington 40, Brussels), the final meetings of the EICF UK organization and the first meeting of the EICF AISBL took place finalizing all legal formalities that have completed the transfer process of the Federation from the UK to Belgium. This accomplishment was due in line with the planning and has been a fluent and smooth process. The EICF now based in Brussels adopts the legal
form of AISBL (Association internationale sans but lucratif / International Non-Profit Organization) in accordance with the Belgian law, being approved as an organization of social interest by a Royal Decree. The EICF AISBL held its first meeting as a Belgian
company reviewing the transfer completion and the ordinary course of business with special emphasis in the organization of the 30th EICF International Conference and Exhibition to be held in Austria (Bregenz) next May 2020. It was a general consensus among Board members, the satisfaction of having completed this process providing with a certainty foundation for the Federation operations.
