The fundamental right of association, recognized in Article 22 of the Constitution, has been the subject of recent regulation through the Organic Law 1/2002, of March 22, regulating the law of association.

Such an organic law, as set out in its explanatory statement, develops the right of association in two facets, on the one hand, as the right of persons in the field of social life and, on the other, as the capacity of the associations themselves for their operation.

With regard to the second of these, it sets out a series of principles that should govern the exercise of the aforementioned right by the associations themselves, among which are their ability to register in the corresponding register, determining the declarative nature of their registration, and their ability to establish their own organization within the framework of the organic law, through their statutes.

This merely declarative character of the registration registration is not an obstacle for the organic law to recognize to this inscription effects on the regime of responsibility of the associations. In this way, Article 15 of the Organic Law provides that the associates do not personally respond to the debts of the registered association, whereas Article 10 recognizes the responsibility of promoters and associates in the case of associations not registered, without prejudice to the liability of the association itself.

It should be noted, moreover, that the fixing, in this regulation, of time limits for the submission of the application for the registration of certain acts does not imply the refusal of that registration if the request is made once after that period, without prejudice to the effects which may arise in the event of such absence of registration in the period.

In this context, without prejudice to the specific rules of the Autonomous Communities given in accordance with their respective powers, and in the use of the power conferred on the Government in the final provision of that law organic, this regulation has been elaborated in order to regulate the National Register of Associations and their relations with the other Records of Associations.

The regulation is structured into three titles.

Title I, "Register subscriptions", is structured in three chapters.

In Chapter I the acts of the associations that may be the object of registration in the corresponding Register of Associations are related.

Chapter II regulates, in detail, the various registration procedures according to the act intended to be entered, and highlights the character conferred on the registration of the associations for the purposes of advertising, in Article 10 of the Organic Law 1/2002 of 22 March.

The legal status of the registration is set out in Chapter III, the content of which is determined by the provisions of Article 30 of the said Organic Law.

It is worth noting the positive character of the silence set out in that article, which adds to aspects that complete legal regulation, as regards the system of resources.

Title II is structured in two chapters, through which the structure and functioning of the National Register of Associations and the way and means of offering registered advertising are regulated. In particular, it is determined their organic dependence of the Ministry of the Interior, thus complying with the regulatory remission that is established in Article 25 of the Organic Law 1/2002, of March 22.

Finally, in Title III, in addition to including a reference to the autonomic registers of associations, the mechanisms of cooperation and collaboration between registers and with other agencies are concretized, according to the established in Articles 26 and 27 of the said Organic Law.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of the Interior, with the prior approval of the Minister of Public Administrations, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting of the 28th of November 2003,

D I S P O N G O:
