Membership Form
OETC Member

Once membership is added to your cart, a form will appear to enter your information and finalize your registration.

A small step for you, a great value for your rights.

When you have doubts about your rights as a member, the first obstacle is often the cost. A single legal consultation can exceed €150, an amount that discourages many people from taking the first step.

The OETC's annual membership fee is a fraction of this cost.

With our membership, you are not paying for a single service, but for access to an entire ecosystem of protection: an initial analysis of your situation and direct contact with qualified experts. Our mission is to make defending your rights accessible, not a luxury.

Joining today means securing peace of mind for the future, at a symbolic cost that supports the only Observatory in Europe created to defend the rights of cooperative members.
