Partners abroad
In addition to representing notaries and upholding ethical standards, the Chamber carries out a number of practical tasks. The Chamber’s day-to-day work also involves international cooperation and supporting the legislative drafting process. The cross-border exchange of information and experience ensures that the work of the notaries meets the needs of modern society.
The Chamber of Notaries participates in the activities of the CNUE through various working groups. Meetings of the heads of all member notariats are held several times a year to discuss current issues and lines of action.
The Chamber of Notaries participates in the work of the UINL General Council and the Committee on European Affairs (CAE). Meetings of the heads of notariats – General Council meetings – are held twice a year.
