MBO Section 2 - On the Board of Trustees and the Organization of the FPAC

2.1. Legal Entity and Government Bodies

The Fundació Parc Aeronàutic de Catalunya (FPAC) is a charity and cultural non-profit organization registered in the Register of Private Foundations of the Generalitat de Catalunya with the number 1114, by resolution of the Counselor of Justice of October 30, 1997.

It therefore has its own legal personality and a special tax regime.

Among others, it has recognized the tax benefits established in law 49/2002, of December 23, of foundations and tax incentives for private participation in activities of general interest, since it has accredited before the Delegation in Barcelona of the State Agency of the Tax Administration compliance with the requirements established in the Law.

The Foundation is governed by its Statutes, and the Board of Trustees is the body in charge of establishing the objectives, policies, priorities and, in general, to ensure compliance with the foundational obligations.

The Board of Trustees is composed of a variable number of Trustees who act in their personal capacity and without any type of compensation or consideration. Their position lasts for four years, renewable, and they meet at least twice a year.

The Board of Trustees can choose or renew Trustees by co-optation and, also every four years, designates by voting a President, two Vice-Presidents and a Secretary.

The President holds the maximum representation of the Foundation and together with the two vice-presidents, the secretary and a number of Trustees integrate the Executive Committee (CEX hereafter).

The CEX is the management body of the Foundation where ordinary decisions are made, reporting to the Board once a year.

In the event of permanent absence, resignation or incapacity of the President, his attributions are transferred to the first Vice President, and if such circumstance is present in the first Vice President, to the Second Vice President. In the event of permanent absence, resignation or incapacity of the three persons holding representative positions, the Secretary shall convene the Board of Trustees for the election of a new CEX.

An external audit of accounts is also carried out annually, which upon approval by the Board of Trustees is submitted to the Department of Justice of the Generalitat for inspection.

The composition of the Board of Trustees, in force, is:
