The latest edition of the (free, quarterly) newsletter of The International Journal
of Not-for-Profit Law (www.icnl.org) features a number of articles looking at various
aspects of charity law in Europe. If you are looking for “A Comparative Overview
of Public Benefit Status in Europe” or want to look into Financial Reporting in 
European not-for-profit organisations (NPOs), this could be a good starting point.
The article on Financial Reporting in European NPOs uses the UK, Spain, and Italy
as examples. Another article reports that in 2007 2/3 of European Foundation Centre
members worked across borders and were active outside their country of origin. The
same article also reports that in nine countries (Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany,
Italy, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden), over 40% of foundations were established
during the last ten years. Is a European Foundation Statute needed “in order to 
operate effectively with optimal impact on public good”? Check out the newsletter
for a view.

You can download articles, and search for previous issues. I think that it’s a good
resource for researching international charities, and is even quite interesting,
at times!
