Important announcement: Amendment of ESRA’s Bylaws
ESRA is a Non-profit organisation registered in Belgium and subject to Belgian legislation. Non-profit organisations used to be governed by the act of 1921. On 23 March 2019, a government bill introducing a new Belgian Companies and Associations Code came to force and It repealed the 1921 act. Therefore, the ESRA bylaws (Articles of the Association) must be amended to assure compliance with the new Belgian law. This also represents an opportunity to modernise our bylaws.
The ESRA Board has appointed a legal office to amend the bylaws in order to comply with the current code. Details of the required changes to comply with the Belgian Companies and Associations Code have been prepared by the appointed lawyer Philippe Malherbe and they can be found in the document 20240112 Memo ESRA.
Main changes are depicted in the document Revision of the Article of the Association.
We urge for your attention in going through the amended bylaws (Articles ESRA adapted CAC - EN version_20052024). If you have any questions or comments, please send a message to board@esra.website by the 4th of June at 12:00 CET.
The amended Bylaws will be brought for voting at the General Assembly Meeting at ESREL 2024 in Krakow.
