Press Release: Commission consults on a possible European Foundation Statute

The European Commission launched a public consultation on the difficulties foundations face when operating cross-border, on the content of a possible European Foundation Statute and on how a Statute might affect donors' and founders' attitudes. The consultation was linked to a feasibility study which the Commission has made public at the same time. Responses will be taken into account in assessing the need for and the impact of a potential Statute. The deadline for responses is 15 May 2009.
