National association sends appeal to become a member. EMA delegation than visits National association and if delegation gives positive opinion next General Assembly decides on membership. In first year there is no membership fee so that National association can decide about membership without any financial losses (from 2nd year fee is between 20 and 200 EUR per year depends how big national association is). If National association decides to determinate the membership they can do that at anytime without any consequences.

If you don’t have National association

If there is no national association as member in EMA, team can become temporary member. One person would be head of mission from that country and EMA will financially and in other ways (seminars, logistics, legal assistance etc) help to organize national association in that country, with that person in charge. When national association became reality, membership is automatically transferred from team to National association. Team as temporary member does not have any fee in EMA.
