(2) approves the statutes of this association
Dear colleagues, Wednesday, October 15, 2003
The European Register of Associations of Traditional Chinese Medicine (EUROTCM) was established on 8th & 9th December 2001 in Vienna, Austria and immediately started its activities.
The principle of equal voice and vote has been respected by all associations. The registration as an organization in accordance with international law has been initiated. The Professional Associations of ten European Countries currently represent and articulate the needs and ideas of their practitioners.
The differences in the application of TCM in Europe have been taken into account by creating a framework for special sections in order to give each group of therapists (MD or Non-MD) the possibility to fully represent their members.
The goal of a simple, workable and inexpensive structure, affordable also for small associations in Europe has been met. The principles of democracy in Europe have been respected.
We are honored to invite you to represent your association in the structuring process of the Register for TCM covering Education and Professional Practice in the European Community.
In order to regulate and improve TCM in Europe your participation as representative of your school, professional organization or clinic is necessary. Opinions and ideas have to be heard, to be respected.
If you are interested in joining us, please fill in the forms attached and send them back to me. Once we have received your papers, you will receive a reply concerning your application within one month.
