Change from:

to:

Article 4 – Principles

(7) The Association may carry out all operations and conduct all activities (including real estate transactions), both in Luxembourg and abroad, which directly or indirectly increase or promote its objectives under the condition that these activities adhere to the principles of this organisation stated in this article. The Association does not undertake industrial or commercial transactions and does not seek to procure a profit to its members.

Reasoning: Changing minor stuff to Luxembourg

Motion 3

Motion by PP-DE

Delete: Art. 21 – Financial Provisions (7)

The Board shall ensure that the annual accounts and the other documents referred to in the Law on Not-for-profit Associations are deposited within thirty (30) days of approval at the Registry of the Court of First Instance or, if the law so requires, the National Bank of Belgium.

Reasoning: obsolete

Motion 4:

Motion by PP-DE
Amendment regulations regarding lay auditors.

Add:

Art. 23 (5): Until the conditions of the Art 23 (1) are met, the council shall elect one or more lay auditors. The regulations of Art. 23 (2) and (3) are applied accordingly.

Reasoning: we do not have provisions for lay auditors. the current provisions of Art. 23 (1) are curently not in action, as we are not required to be audited by law, nor that we could afford it. Instead we propose to have a minimum level of financial oversight that we can afford in the current state.

Counter-motion to motion 4:

Proposal by PP-CZ

As we have a transparent bank account, if all the money are there, we don't need lay auditors, thus we propose either using the transparent account, or even setting it into our statutes as the reason for no auditors. We understand the need of PPDE to protect the data of their donators and therefore we suggest that the German bank account will be used for collecting money from those that don't want to be visible in the transparent accounting and they will proccess it into a bundle and send once upon a set period of time to the transparent account.

Motion 5:

Motion by PP-CZ PP-IS
Proposal for waving of memberships fees from the years 2014-2017.

Council agrees that the membership fees accumulated 2014-2017 will be waved. The reasoning for waving fees is inactivity and absence of a transparent PPEU account. If a member wants to pay membership fees voluntarily, it will be considered a contribution and will not be hindered.

PPEU members that have paid membership fees in the 2014-2017 period can freely decide whether they consider previous payments a contribution to PPEU or if the fees paid should be considered a pre-paid membership fee.

Reasoning: PPEU hasn't been registered nor had a transparent bank account until 2018. We consider it reasonable to not collect back fees from PPEU members.
