Rights and Duties of Members

Members shall inform the Union of modifications to their structure or statutes. This information will be given in two (2) copies of a letter to be addressed to the President of the Union, one copy to be sent to the President of the Union and the other to the Secretary General. The letter will be signed by the President of the National Committee. The following General Meeting shall confirm (or, as the case may be, annul) the membership of any National Committee having modified its statutes.

Members shall designate a person authorized to correspond in its name with the Secretary General of the Union. The authorisation shall be signed by the President of the National Committee in question. This authorisation must indicate the dates of the beginning and end of this authority. In the case of a change in the structure of the National Committee, the authority may be revoked by the new President.

Members shall nominate representatives to the General Meetings. However, Members of the Union may arrange to be represented at the General Meeting by another Member.

Members shall assign a representative and an alternate to represent them at the Executive Council of the Union. The communication authorising these individuals shall be signed by the President of the National Committee.

Membership fees are to be paid in the first trimester of each calendar year and Members should facilitate the management of the Union by paying its contributions promptly.

A Member is at liberty to determine its own regulations and to organize its own meetings within its national territory.
