This measure aims to strengthen collective representation and coordination among professionals. The obligation is established within the framework of Law 2/1974 of 13 February and applies to all professional colleges in the Principality.

In 2 key points

  1. Professional colleges must integrate into professional associations (art. 31.2 del Estatuto aprobado por Ley Orgánica 7/1981, de 30 de diciembre)
