The Executive Board of PURPLE has for a long time deliberated the merits of attaining some kind of formal legal status for the network. That work and effort has now come to fruition with the publication of a Belgian royal decree conferring approval of its aplication to operate as an AISBL. The intention is that such a development will enable PURPLE to become directly involved in EU projects and othe initiatives in its own right with the profile rasing benefits which that infers.

At a fomal signing ceremony in Gent earlier this year, Flanders, Ile-de_France. Nord Pas de Calais, North Holland, Flevoland, Frankfurt RheinMain, Surrey, Staffordshire, Mazovia, Wielkopolska, and South Moravia all became founder members of the PURPLE AISBL with others expected to join soon.
