Official Approval of Statutes Modification for FREDICA

The Canary Islands Federation of Car Importers and Dealerships, known as FREDICA, has officially had its request to modify its statutes approved and registered. This change, approved unanimously at their May 7, 2026, assembly, expands the federation’s objectives, reflecting a possible shift or growth in its activities.

The process involved verifying that the federation complies with Spanish laws regulating unions and associations, namely Law 19/1977 and Royal Decree 416/2015. Rafael Pombriego CastaƱƱares submitted the application in late May, which was subsequently corrected after an initial documentation issue.

Effective Date and Transparency

The modification, sealed by the federation's secretary, David SƔnchez Garrido, came into effect on May 18, 2026. This official announcement ensures transparency, allowing interested parties to review or obtain copies of the updated statutes.

Significance and Stakeholders

This development is significant for members and stakeholders, as it indicates the federation’s intent to adapt its role within the automotive sector on the islands. It also reflects ongoing organizational changes in trade associations, which could influence regional business dynamics.

Judicial Challenge Period

Members or interested parties now have until 10 business days to challenge this decision through judicial channels, as outlined in Spain’s social jurisdiction laws.
