This initiative seeks to ensure full single market freedoms for associations, simplifying their cross-EU activities and promoting their fundamental rights.
Current rules create obstacles, such as additional registrations, when associations operate across EU borders. This may distort the market for non-profit organisations, affecting the EU democratic space and the exercise of EU fundamental rights.

As Korea’s second-largest city, Busan is increasingly gaining attention as a MICE destination on the global stage. Offering beautiful seaside environments, rich cultural heritage, and unique venues, Busan leaves international visitors with lasting memories. This year has seen new additions to the lineup of Busan Unique Venues. Are you looking for a space that will make for a unique event? Want to have the most “Busan experience” possible during your stay?
8th of November 2024
Busan’s MICE industry has matured significantly since the opening of BEXCO, the city’s landmark MICE venue, in 2001, and the establishment of the Convention Bureau in 2005. To be recognized as an expert in any field, one typically needs at least 20 years of experience, and this principle applies to national industries as well. With over 20 years of history, Busan’s MICE industry is now in need of a renaissance.
