Statute of the Association of Pharmaceutical Representatives of Trentino Alto Adige
Why an ISF Association
The norms
In the Italian legal system, the association is one of the forms of aggregation governed by the law, which protects its constitutive freedom and forms of activity. The association has a personal basis and is made up of at least two people pursuing a legitimate common purpose, since assets are not an essential element.
The Italian Constitution, in article 18, recognizes the right of every single individual to associate in collective bodies with various purposes. “…citizens have the right to associate freely without authorization for purposes which are not prohibited by law“.
The Italian legal system identifies in the civil code two main categories in which to bring the associations: associations recognized as legal persons and associations not recognized as legal persons.
Associations with legal personality are those bodies endowed with perfect patrimonial autonomy. The acquisition of legal personality implies the acquisition of full autonomy of the body with respect to the associates both towards the members themselves and from outside third parties.
For unrecognized associations, these are organizations that enjoy full legal capacity today (in the past they could not acquire by donation or inheritance) but which do not have perfect patrimonial autonomy. That is to say that these are entities without legal personality, whose civil, administrative, penal and economic-financial responsibilities fall on those who have acted in the name and on behalf of the association, even if not members of it. The unrecognized association qualifies different organizational phenomena, from the most modest recreational or cultural clubs to complex and large-scale organizations with management of considerable financial means: to date two of the most important social formations, viz parties and trade unions fall into the category of unrecognized associations.
However, they are subjects of law, independent from the shareholders, endowed with assets (if any) which take the name of common fund. To remedy the paucity of regulatory provisions on the subject, the Legislator attributes the definition of the internal legal system to the "associate agreements". The unrecognized association can still register with the Revenue Agency in order to obtain administrative and tax advantages. However, registration is not necessary for the request for the tax code.
The why and the purposes.
On several occasions, we have had the opportunity to hear from colleagues the request not to renew membership of our association. Except in some cases, the reasons are not of an economic nature. The most common question is: "But what does the Association give me?”. These colleagues, failing to grasp the "immediate and operational" meaning of their membership, after a few years of associative life, give up and resign.
Let us take the cue from this to make some reflections on the individual dimension of the ISF professional and on the need to find together new ideas and new models to facilitate their professionalism.
An Association like Fedaiisf is a community of self-organized professionals (it's not a Professional Order set up by the State!) that wants to break the traditional solitude and strong individualism that often characterizes the ISF.
It helps whistleblowers who are part of the community through lifelong learning and development, social influence and representation, networking, international connection, study and constant reflection on the profession and its evolution.
Joining an association means "going beyond" the request to supply a service: first of all it means asking the question, paraphrasing jfk, "what can I do for the association and not what the Association can do for me!".
In fact, a community feeds on the relationships, information, skills, ability/reactivity to change of its members.
Not even a sports club, a sports, cultural or recreational club, a voluntary or non-profit association, whether local or international, open to all or elitist, can survive if the members do not take a personal and exclusive step, " beyond the membership fee!
Being part of a community means being able to experiment and confront each other on a daily basis, within an effective professional network/system (also of "protection", without being corporative), on one's own skills, on the new contents/tools of the profession, on one's own relational skills, on the methods of professional activity.
Solitary professionals - as FSIs often are - consider it useless and superfluous to know and intervene on the specific dynamics of the reference sector and on the macroeconomic dynamics that characterize the life of the sector and prefer to remain concentrated on their own doing, on their "customers", on their own sales.
It is a short-sighted, limited and risky vision in the medium/long term.
Doctors, but not only them, look for quality in ISF professionals and in particular:
- integrity (can we trust?);
- competence;
- reliability;
- credibility.
The reputation of individuals has repercussions on the reputation of the Association. Conversely, a good reputation of the Association – in the eyes of public opinion and not just insiders – will be a corroborant for the professional recognition of individuals.
The Association also builds a network which is a way to gain experience, to report events and opportunities, to create opportunities for reflection and debate on the hot topics of the profession, to collaborate, to develop shared strategies to achieve the constitutive objectives.

Professional register
The regulated profession is an activity that can be exercised by people in possession of certain requirements and registered in a professional order (Decree 7 August 2012, n. 137).
According to the Law n. 4 of 14.01.2013, those who exercise unregulated professions have the right to form associations without the obligation to register in a register.
Membership in the register is compulsory for those professions which are in direct contact with the safety and health of citizens.
From a legal point of view there is no absolute prohibition of simultaneous registration in several professional registers.
Also from reading the recent provision for the reform of professional orders (Presidential Decree 137 of 2012), what emerges is a principle of free access.
However, the individual orders have the function of regulating any professional incompatibilities.
In Italy there are 27 professional registers with around 2,300,000 members
