Charlemagne Conference Center (Room S3)
Rue de la Loi, 170
Brussels, Belgium
(Metro: Schuman)

Interpretation will be available into and out of English, French, German, Albanian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Romanian, Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian. If delegations require other interpretation they will have to provide their own interpreters.

Delegations in the main Conference room will be limited to the following numbers:

each country will be permitted 4 representatives;

each international organization will be permitted 2 representatives.

One additional space per delegation may be made available for an interpreter – please inform the Conference Secretariat when providing details of the composition of delegations. Any further delegates can not be guaranteed seats in the main room, and may have to be seated in an overflow area.

Names and full contact details - mailing address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address - must be sent to the Conference Secretariat at the latest by February 28, 2000. This should include the name and details of a liaison officer who will act as the primary contact.

Each delegate will be issued with a personal badge. For security reasons, participants will be required to wear badges at all times. Access to the conference room will be strictly limited to those participants with badges.

As time for discussion during the Conference will be strictly limited, delegations are invited to submit lengthier written statements which will be made available during the conference. Where possible, statements should be sent, preferably in electronic form, to the Conference Secretariat at least 3 working days before the conference.

The Conference organisers will also be able to distribute other documentation submitted by delegations. Again, such documentation should be sent to the Conference Secretariat at least three working days in advance of the conference.

The conference organisers have NOT made any arrangements for accommodation of delegations during their stay in Brussels. However, please find below some details of hotels in Brussels: Delegations are requested to contact hotels DIRECTLY.
