….and look forward to being back in touch in September, the start to a particularly active period for the Olympic Family of Europe. Many rendezvous are on the EOC agenda: mid-September the 3rd Executive Committee meeting in Tirana, Albania; in October the European Athletes Forum in Bratislava, Slovakia and the ANOC general Assembly in Washington; by the end of November the EOC General Assembly in Prague. And of course, in the coming months, our NOC Members’ activities will more and more focus on the approaching 2016 Olympics and Youth Olympic Games. Quite a heavy schedule.

In the meantime, enjoy your holidays! The EOC Offices will be closed from 10 to 17 August.
