Canary Islands Car Rental Business Association (APECA) Statutes Update

Overview

The Canary Islands Car Rental Business Association (APECA) has officially had its proposed changes to its statutes approved. This update was made after a smooth process that began with a formal request from César Martín García on April 23, 2025. Following a review, the authorities identified minor documentation issues, which were promptly resolved by May 16.

During an extraordinary assembly in late March, all members unanimously agreed to amend several articles of the association’s statutes, modernizing its operations and governance.

Implications of Approval

This official approval means the association can now update its legal framework and operate under the new rules, which could impact local businesses and expats alike.

Publication and Transparency

The changes are published in the official Canary Islands Bulletin and accessible for public review, ensuring transparency.

Interested parties have ten days to challenge the decision through judicial channels if they believe it’s necessary.

Regulatory Significance

This process highlights the regulatory steps local authorities take to ensure that business associations operate transparently and legally, which ultimately supports a stable business environment that benefits residents, tourists, and the broader economy on the islands.
