In order to attend better to the apostolates of the Prelature, having consideredc.121 of the Code of Canon Law and nn.150, 151, 152 §1, 154, and 155 of the Statutes of Opus Dei, in agreement with the General Council and the Central Advisory, and having heard the legitimate representatives of the circumscriptions in question, with this decree

I ESTABLISH THAT

1. The quasi-region of Great Britain, the quasi-region of Holland, the quasi-region of Ireland, and the delegation of Scandinavia directly dependent on the Prelate are hereby united and form the quasi-region of Northwest Europe, which comprises the territory that pertained to these four circumscriptions.

the quasi-region of Great Britain, the quasi-region of Holland, the quasi-region of Ireland, and the delegation of Scandinavia directly dependent on the Prelate, are hereby transferred, with their respective assets and documentation, to the quasi-region of Northwest Europe.

3. That which until now was the headquarters of the quasi-region of Great Britain will serve as the government offices of the new quasi-region of Northwest Europe.

4. Also, I hereby delegate to the vicar of the quasi-region of Northwest
Europe all the faculties required by Law in order to carry out all the necessary procedures, before any authorities and agencies, that may be called for by the reorganization established in this decree.
