Associations

Amend the statutes

The law sets out a specific procedure for amending the articles of association of an association. All members must be invited to the meeting. The purpose of the amendment must be stated precisely in the notice of meeting.

The meeting may only validly deliberate if 2/3 of the members are present or represented (attendance quorum). If the attendance quorum is not met at the first meeting, a second meeting may be called, but this time no attendance quorum is required. The notice of this second meeting must be sent at least eight days before the date of the meeting, and there must be a period of at least fifteen days between the first and second meetings. In both cases, the amendments must be adopted by a 2/3 majority of the votes cast.
