the annual membership certificate fee (49 Euro) is a necessary expense for members who wish to obtain an e-certificate confirming their status with our organization. While the fee may seem like an extra cost, the benefits of having an e-certificate can outweigh the expense, making it a worthwhile investment for many members.
