Le Conseil de l'Atlantique Nord se réunira au niveau des chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement le mercredi 13 juin 2001 au siège de l'OTAN à Bruxelles

The North Atlantic Council will meet at the level of Heads of State and Government in Brussels, at NATO Headquarters, on Wednesday, 13 June 2001

MEDIA ADVISORY

1. Media reception

A Media Reception Centre will be established within the perimeter of NATO, accessible through the entry point of the NATO Staff Centre, Avenue du Bourget, 250 metres east of the NATO main site entrance. Media representatives wishing to cover the arrival of Alliance leaders must report to the Reception Centre between 06:30 and 08:00. Those arriving after that time may be delayed by restricted movement and traffic congestion on Boulevard Leopold III.
2. Parking

Media representatives holders of a permanent NATO press card will be allowed to park their vehicles on "Parking PE" on a first-come, first-served basis. When "Parking PE" is full, they will be invited to park further down the Avenue du Bourget, on "Parking Z". A shuttle bus service will operate between "Parking Z" and the Staff Centre entrance.

Media representatives not in possession of a permanent NATO press card will be allowed to park their vehicles on "Parking Z"

Outside broadcasting (O.B.) vans for uplink satellite transmissions will park on "Parking H", next to television editing offices.
3. Security check

All visiting media representatives should take note that security personnel at NATO Headquarters will examine and may test equipment carried onto the site. To avoid delays, media representatives are invited to arrive in good time to clear the security checks.

Television and radio networks or wire services that have cumbersome or bulky equipment are strongly advised to move as much of it as possible into the Media area before 12:00 hours on Tuesday, 12 June, to shorten check-in times.
4. Accreditation

Media representatives holders of a permanent NATO press card will not need to apply for accreditation, but will be asked to check in at the accreditation and security desk on arrival.

Media representatives not in possession of a permanent NATO press card will be admitted to the media area on presentation of individual NATO press passes.

We strongly recommend that advance application for this accreditation be submitted by filling the attached form (.PDF/14KB).
Please return the completed form no later than Friday, 8 June to:

NATO Press and Media Service
B-1110 Brussels
Fax: +32 (0)2 707 50 57

NATO press passes will not be mailed to applicants. Media representatives are strongly advised to collect their passes before 12 June. They may be collected individually at the NATO H.Q. Press area from Saturday, 9 June onwards from 09:00 to 12:30 and from 14:00 to 17:30.

NATO reserves the right to withhold accreditation if an application has not been submitted before c.o.b. on Friday, 8 June 2001. NATO also reserves the right to withdraw accreditation.
