Monday 21 June from 08:00 - 10:00. It is strongly advised that media register and

Monday morning will be a very busy time and there is
no guarantee that registrations on that morning will
be completed in time for the opening session. Registration Fee A
registration fee of UK£60.00 (€70, US$90, MAD800) is payable by each news entity (i.e. one

of the Media Pass at registration. Payments in cash only will be accepted. We
regret that we are unable to accept credit cards.

recognised media who can produce a valid media card
issued by an appropriate national or international
authority. Please note that out of date cards will
not be accepted. Contact with Delegates Members of the media will have direct access to
delegates and observers, so they will be able to
request interviews directly. Numbers and contact
names for delegation offices will be made available
as soon as they are known. The Secretariat will NOT arrange interviews with
delegates on behalf of media organisations. Media Area A Media
