FAIB ... be international - in Belgium !

Federation of European and International Associations Established in Belgium (FAIB) is a non-profit, non-political association that promotes and defends the interests and activities of its Members. It was established in 1949 at the initiative of leading personalities of the Union of International Associations (UIA), with the intention to draw attention of the authorities to the existence of international associations in Belgium, and to the need for facilitating their activities.

The Members of FAIB are organisations of European or universal scope, and include trade or business federations, cultural and scientific societies, youth and sport associations, religious and philanthropic societies, etc. The Federation is ruled by General Assembly, directed by Board of Directors, and financed chiefly by Members' fees.

Regular or occasional activities of FAIB include: studies of general and specific legal and tax problems (see the Practical Guide), inquiries into the activities of international associations; working luncheons and lectures with contributions by experts on matters of common concern: taxation, computers, convention management, etc.; establishing international contacts and maintaining permanent relations with federations of international associations in other countries; publishing a quarterly information bulletin: FAIB News.

The FAIB has recently released its eight, fully online edition of the Practical Guide for the use of International Associations established in Belgium. Read the multi-language preface, subscribe, or - if you have your account details already - enter the latest edition.
