 The
Garrigues Territory Development Consortium (GTDC) is an organization
set up, as the name suggests, with the aim of promoting the development
of this area. The Consortium incorporates all the Town Councils in Les
Garrigues and also eight municipalities of El Segrià, as well
as a series of organizations representing various towns, such as their
co-operatives, cultural associations and other significant bodies worth
mentioning such as the Lleida Province Council (Diputació de Lleida),
the University of Lleida, or the Official Chamber of Commerce of Lleida,
among others.
The Consortium is created as an incorporated associative public organization,
different from that of the Consortium bodies, once the agreements approved
for its constitution are valid.
The Consortium has full legal capacity to perform and achieve the
aims shaping its purpose. Consequently, it can acquire, own, claim and
transfer real estate and personal properties of any kind; bind itself;
make contracts; fulfil actions and exceptions, and put in appeals in
accordance with the current laws, provided that such actions are intended
for fulfilling aims and activities shaping its purpose.
The Consortium must perform its activities on its own behalf to fulfil
the aims and functions.
