Associations
The basic right of an association projects its protection from two outlooks:
on the one hand about people's right regarding their social life and on the
other hand about the capacity of the associations to rule their functioning.
The organic law 1/2002, of March 22nd which rules this right, confine the
limits of these non-profit-making organizations.
Article 5.1 of this law stipulates that these associations must be
established by three or more people, of individual or legal entity, lawfully
constituted, who agree to contribute with knowledge, means and activities
in order to reach achievements which are legal, general, of common or
particular interest and endow the statutes which rules the association
functioning.

Foundations
The Spanish Constitution recognizes the right of a foundation for general
interests, subjected to the law and giving it the regulation for its
activity. Law 50/2002 of Dec. 26th about foundations rules this recognized right and
under article 2 defines them as non-profit-making organizations. By wish of
the founders, their patrimony is permanently affected in the development of
ventures of general interest.

Official colleges
The Magna Carta lays down that the law should rule the peculiarities which
are characteristic of the professional associations' legal system, as well
as the practice of every graduated professional. And that its internal
structure and its functioning must be democratic. Article 11 of the statute of
autonomy of the Balearic Islands rules those
matters where the autonomous community is in charge for legislative and
executive development. Among those, there are the corporations of public
right, which represent financial and professional interests. By virtue of
this competence law 10/1998 of Dec. 14th regarding professional associations
of the Balearic Islands and the rest of the comprised regulations has been
approved. Article 2 of above mentioned law defines professional associations as
corporations of public rights, with own legal status and total capacity to
fulfil their achievements. They must collaborate with the Government and
also with the Administration of the Balearic Islands to meet general
interests, without affecting duties associated with representing and
defending the professional interests of their members.
