Should an association make a statement after each general meeting?

In principle, there is no need to make a declaration in the prefecture following each general meeting.

However, the following changes must be declared within 3 months of the general meeting:

• Rename or object change for the association
• Change of seat address and/or management address
• Appointment of new directors: surname, first name, occupation, domicile and nationality and function must be declared
• Amendment of the statutes
• Opening or closing of the place or one of the places where the association carries on its activities
• Voluntary acquisition or transfer to others (whether free of charge or against payment) of ownership of property such as premises used for the administration and performance of the activity
• New composition of a union or federation (membership or withdrawal of a member association)

The declaration can be made online or by post depending on whether it is a statutory amendment or a change in administration of the combination.

The minutes of meetings shall be communicated to the members of the association.

When the general meeting has decided on a change of name, purpose or address of the registered office, the officers may request the publication of such changes, at the JOAFE: titleContent, when they are declared in the prefecture. This publication in the JOAFE is not mandatory, but recommended.
