|
|
<p>To become a member, an individual or a company simply has
|
|
to pay its yearly membership. For an individual, the minimum
|
|
membership fee per year is 10 EUR. For a company, the
|
|
minimum membership fee per year is 150 EUR. Individuals and
|
|
companies are free to give more than the minimum
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>The membership is valid for the current civil year, i.e
|
|
any membership fee paid in 2019 is valid through December 31,

|
|
|
|
<p>Once the membership fee is received, it will be listed in

|

|

|

|
|

|
|
