81 According to national legislation, the criteria for filing a “recognition of public interest” application are the following: show the association was
created in accordance with the provisions of the Royal decree No. 1-58-376 of 3 Joumada I 1378 (November 5th, 1958) regulating the right of
association; have clear organisational rules for participation; have the necessary financial resources to enable the performance of specific tasks
of general interest; pursue public policy objectives at the local, regional or national level; keep financial records and file a statement of assets; and
provide information on programming. Once the application is filed, it is reviewed by the Governor’s office and the Directorate of Associations
and Professions (regulated by the Government’s Secretariat General). Once the review is carried out, the Secretariat General forwards the file to
the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister’s office. Thus, the public interest status remains the sole prerogative of the Executive.
