The assembly statute of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Organizing Committee was approved by the representatives of the Brazilian Olympic Confederations that participated in the Constitution Assembly held this Tuesday, the 9th. The approval was the last step towards the structuring of the Rio 2016 Committee that will now require the register of a legal entity at the notary’s office followed by EIN and patent. O trabalho de estruturação da entidade começou logo após o Seminário de Orientação do Comitê Olímpico Internacional, realizado em outubro de 2009. Durante os últimos meses, foram definidos o modelo de organização, a estrutura fiscal e quais seriam os associados do Comitê Rio 2016. Antes de ser validado pelas Confederações Brasileiras Olímpicas, o estatuto foi aprovado pelo Comitê Olímpico Internacional. “Vamos trabalhar em conjunto com as Confederações, isso é muito importante. E preparamos o estatuto dentro do prazo estabelecido pelo COI”, disse Nuzman.
