ViviMonferrato APS ETS Statute

Art.1 - Name-headquarters-duration

 

Pursuant to Legislative Decree 117 of 2017 (hereinafter referred to as the "Third Sector Code"), and the provisions of the Civil Code regarding associations, the unrecognized association named "ViviMonferrato" is established, hereinafter also referred to as the "Association".

 

The Association has its registered office in the Municipality of Lerma. Any change of the registered office within the Municipality of Lerma does not entail a statutory amendment, except for a specific resolution of the Board of Directors and subsequent notification to the competent offices. It intends to operate in the territory of the Piedmont region with particular interest in the provinces of Alessandria, Asti, and Vercelli, and, if useful for achieving its social purposes, also at the national level. The Association may establish sections or secondary offices. The Association has unlimited duration.

 

Art.2 - Use of the acronym "APS" or the indication "social promotion association" and Third Sector Entity "ETS" in the name

 

Starting from the establishment of the National Single Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS), and once the Association has been registered in the relevant section of this register, the acronym "APS" or the indication "social promotion association" must be included in the company name. From the moment of registration in the RUNTS, the name of the Association will therefore become "ViviMonferrato APS" or "ViviMonferrato - social promotion association" or "APS ViviMonferrato". From that moment, the Association must use the indication "social promotion association" or the acronym "APS" in documents, correspondence, and communications to the public. Until the establishment of the National Single Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS), the acronym "APS" or the indication "social promotion association" may still be included in the company name if the Association is registered in one of the registers provided for by Law 383 of 2000. With registration in the National Single Register of the Third Sector, the words "Third Sector Entity" or "ETS" are added to its name.

Art.29 - Financial statements

 

The financial year coincides with the calendar year. At the end of each financial year, the Board of Directors must prepare the financial statements, which must be approved by the Ordinary Assembly. The latter must be convened within 120 (one hundred and twenty) days from the end of the financial year, but in any case in time to have the financial statements approved by June 30. The financial statements must be filed at the Association's headquarters during the 8 (eight) days preceding the Assembly convened for their approval, and each member, upon written request, may inspect them.  

 

Art.30 - Dissolution and allocation of assets

 

The dissolution of the Association is decided by the extraordinary Assembly with the favorable vote of at least 3/4 (three quarters) of the members, both on first and second call. The Assembly that resolves the dissolution also appoints one or more liquidators and decides on the destination of the residual assets, which must be allocated, subject to the positive opinion of the Office referred to in art. 45, c.1, of the Third Sector Code and unless otherwise required by law, to other Third Sector entities or, failing that, to the Fondazione Italia Sociale, as provided for by art. 9 of the Third Sector Code.

 

Art.31 - Reference rules

 

1. For matters not expressly provided for in this Statute, the Third Sector Code and its implementing provisions shall apply, as well as the Civil Code and the related implementing provisions, insofar as they are compatible.
