COUNCIL OF SPANISH RESIDENTS IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

The CREs are official advisory bodies made up of permanent Spanish residents abroad.

What is CRE?

The Spanish Resident Councils (CREs) are advisory bodies of the consular offices. They carry out their activities in matters of civil and labor rights, educational, social and cultural action in favor of the Spaniards who make up this community and their political participation in Spain. The CREs have the functions of advising the head of the Consular Office, directing towards it the feelings and concern of the Spanish community, proposing measures that can contribute to improving the attention to it and constituting an open channel so that Spaniards abroad can know the measures of the Spanish public administrations that affect them or expose their problems. There may be a CRE in consular districts where there are more than 1,200 voters registered in the electoral roll of absent residents.
