Operation

Created in 1993, EVEIL is an association (non-profit-making organization) governed by the French law of 1 July 1901.

"Association is the convention by which two or several people share, in a permanent way, their knowledge or their activity with a different aim than to share benefit. It is governed, as for its validity, by the general principles of the duty applicable to the contracts and obligations."
art. 1 of the Law of 1 July 1901

Transparency is a major aspect of being an association. The statutes of the EVEIL association are available on the French version of the site, the list of Governing Body members is displayed on-line, balance sheets and activity reports are presented to partners, an auditor inspects and validates the accounts, a "Comité Citoyen" [Citizen's Committee] reflects upon and assesses EVEIL's activities.
