Information Letter no. 28-2007

 

Dear Member Federations,

 

The Executive Committee of the EFC/CEE met in St. Petersburg and decided on several issues with regard to the upcoming European Junior Championships in Prague.

Following a consultation earlier last month the championships will be considered an European event without FIE involvement. This means, as already informed by the organising committee, that referees have to be brought by the federations according the quotas of participation; there will be no transparent masks required for sabre fencers; and there will be no FIE points given for the results. The reason for this special decision was that also in other continents the FIE requirements were not fulfilled and no points awarded.

A visit of a member of the competition commission has meanwhile visited the installations in Prague and found very good conditions.

 

The COMEX also nominated the following persons as DT and Delegates:

Directoire Technique: Julius Kralik, president (SVK), Kamila Vincencova (CZE), Marina Shymko (UKR).

Delegate for referees: Lutz Schirrmacher (GER); for SEMI: Gianandrea Nicolai (ITA); for Medical: Vesna Mijailovic (SRB) and Jenö Kamuti (HUN); Protocol: Maxim Paramonov (UKR).

 

All other information concerning the European Junior Championships you will find on our website www.eurofencing.info

 

With best regards,

 

Max W.F. Geuter
