To become a Basic Member, you must accept the ACOP Code of Ethics, through which you commit to the values and standards of our community.

The registration fee for new members is €145 (760 RON), composed of:
– Annual membership fee: €120 (630 RON)
– Administrative fee: €25 (130 RON) (one-time, charged at registration only)
Validity: until December 31st of the current year
Pro-rata calculation for Mid-Year Registrations
To ensure fairness for all new members, the membership fee is calculated proportionally based on the remaining months until the end of the calendar year. Although the standard annual fee is €120 (equivalent to €10 per month), in your first year you will only pay for the months during which you actively benefit from your membership.
Calculation example:
If you choose to register in July, you will only pay for the 6 remaining months (July–December), resulting in a fee of €60.
Please note: Starting January 1st of the following year, the full annual fee of €120 will apply. Upon first registration, the one-time administrative fee of €25 is added to the total.
Renewal Period
The renewal window runs from November 1st to December 31st.
The renewal deadline is December 31st. After this date, membership will be automatically discontinued and the administrative fee of €25 will be charged again upon reactivation.
