Officials of Dubai remind that all public clubs in the emirate have no right to perform the activities without notice of the authorities and receipt of the corresponding license.
The management on development of local community in Dubai (CDA) reminds that public clubs and non-profit organizations have no right to perform the activities in the emirate without license and the notification of the authorities. Otherwise criminal sanction can threaten them.
CDA regulates all organizations of the listed above type which hold social, cultural or entertaining events in non-commercial purposes, on the basis of the resolution of Executive Council No. 4 of 2011.
In spite of the fact that CDA actively conducts the activities, some illegal organizations continue to function under an assumed name or hire managing companies for holding actions.
"Public clubs shall be licensed [...] They shall have the accurate purposes concerning what they are going to do as they are going to serve society as they are going to work with us and with other bodies for establishing social communications. We don't want that public clubs worked separately" — Khalid Al Kamda, the CEO of CDA told the Gulf News edition.
Licensed public clubs can create the bank account, hire people, hold events and look for support from the outside.
Warning public organizations against violations, Al Kamda reported that all activity of illegal groups is tracked on social networks, and the clubs performing the activities without license will be made responsible. The penalty at the rate from 2 thousand to 10 thousand dirhams ($544-2720) can threaten them. However Al Kamda explained that the priority of CDA gives to assistance, but not punishments.
The former head of public Indian club told that its organization stopped the activities as soon as she was informed by CDA though the club was the leading cultural organization created in 1980. It performed including charity with assistance of the Indian consulate.
"Officials from CDA told us that they always support people, at the same time acting for the benefit of a homeland security. [...] CDA asked us to unite with the public clubs which already have the license, but as we act diversely, nothing turned out" — he told.
M.G. Pushpakaran, the representative of Overseas Indian Cultural Congress, says that this organization stopped the activities, but hopes that the decision can be reviewed.
"We were told that CDA can grant only five licenses for the country. Only from our state 2000 requests for receipt of licenses arrived. In the future, if CDA is able to grant more licenses, we will address again" — he promised.
For most the Philippine organizations the main barrier to implementation of non-commercial activities is the condition of availability of fixed office.
Al Kamda urged the organizations meeting difficulties in receipt of the license to ask for the help the authorities.
"Be not afraid of us. We — that body which will help you to obtain the license. We will find for you the solution. If there are any obstacles, we will eliminate them" — the official promised.
