Las limitadas potestades del registro de asociaciones de Euskadi en la solicitud de inscripción de actos: el mandato real del capítulo XI de la ley de asociaciones de Euskadi

Abstract

The current Associations Law sets forth the obligation to register certain documents at the register, whose registration, in turn, is required to effectively operate the association. Although both the Constitution and the Associations Law set forth that the Register is merely for publicity purposes and that the application may only be denied when there are formal defects, the Associations Register of the Basque Country typically uses this regulation to require substantive amendments to the agreements being applied for registration. We understand that these requirements contradict the constitutional and legal framework for association law, and that if the objective of the Associations Register is to attempt to prevent documents from being publicised that may contradict the law, the mechanism to reach this objective
should be another, one that does not prevent effective registration after application.
