的 European Commission issued a 新闻稿 on 8 February 2012 announcing that there is a proposal for a European Foundation Statute to make it easier for foundations to support public benefit causes across the EU. 的 proposed Regulation can be found 这里.
的 intention is to make it easier for entities to be set up 和 operate across Member States, so called European Foundations. 的se would be set up to promote public benefit purposes such as arts, culture 和 education. If these proposals are put into place an entity will be able to be registered as a European Foundation if they provide such a public benefit, operate in at least two Member States 和 have assets of at least €25,000.
欧洲基金会有可能由一个或多个自然人或法人通过转换现有机构或通过跨国合并来建立。对于希望与其他会员国的机构为了研究和教育目的而成立合资企业的高等教育机构而言，这可能尤其有意义。
欧洲基金会将被要求发布经审计的账目和年度报告。 出于税收目的，欧洲基金会的捐赠者和受益者将受到与向其成员国的实体捐赠或从其实体获得利益时所受的税收待遇相同的待遇。
