Members are distinguished into regular and basic. In order for a member company to be a regular, it must have 3 years of operation, employ employees who cumulatively complete at least 3 annual work units and in the last year, the turnover of the company amounts to € 200,000 or alternatively, the turnover of the last three years amounted to € 600,000.
