How join to IPO membership?
Active Members - Active members shall include national pasta Associations (or private pasta companies where a national pasta Association does not exist or does not apply for membership as an Active Member). Their annual membership fee is determined annually by the General Assembly and shall be based on a fixed annual subscription of 1,500,00 Euro.
Active Members may also be required to contribute in part to the funding of the activities approved by the Assembly with a variable contribution calculated partly taking into account the member’s share on estimated world annual pasta production (see table below).
The amount of the variable contribution will be decided by the General Assembly.
