1.2 Approval in organising country

The organisation and execution of a FIFA World Cup is no longer
possible nowadays without the direct involvement and efficient
support of the government of the respective country. It is not
sufficient for a National Association affiliated to FIFA to
provide together with a consortium of sponsors the financial
guarantee for the organisation of a World Cup. Too many
important factors fall directly within the governmental sector
of the executive country. Thus, it is absolutely indispensable
that prior to the final assignment of a FIFA World Cup, a
governmental decision be in force which:

a. welcomes the football World Cup to the country,

b. gives all guarantees for the success of this World Cup.

## 3. Government Guarantees

The guarantees to be made by the government cover the following sectors:

### 3.1 Entry and Exit Permit (Visa)

Distribution of visas without reservation to all officials, players and media representatives who have been accredited by FIFA, regardless of their nationality, race and religion. This shall also apply to foreign spectators.

### 3.2 Customs

Free import and export:

a) of personal equipment;

b) of technical equipment of players and officials;

c) of the media representatives' technical equipment (cameras, video recorders, lighting material etc.);

d) of medical apparatus and pharmaceutical products

e) of food;

f) of all other technical accessories for the organisation of the World Cup (copying machines, typewriters, photofax, telex etc.)

### 3.3 Security

Security is a matter for the State.

General security and personal protection are the No.1 commandment of a worldwide competition, particularly at airports, hotels, training grounds and in the stadia. This also includes the personal protection of all players, officials, media representatives and spectators before, during and after the matches as well as guaranteeing security and protection during domestic travel.

### 3.4 Bank and Foreign Exchange Operations

This is an important point because it directly concerns the financial value of the FIFA World Cup. The Government must - either directly or through the national bank - make a declaration guaranteeing the free import and export of all foreign exchange in the organising country as well as the exchange and re-conversion of this foreign exchange into hard currency (US$ or Swiss francs). A re-conversion of the different currencies should equally be possible within the country under the internationally recognized conditions on the foreign exchange market. Moreover, a written authorization must be given by the respective governmental authorities enabling all payments abroad at the official rate.

If other laws are in force, these shall be repealed or modified for the duration of the World Cup.

### 3.5 Telecommunications

The government shall guarantee the existence (or the measures to be taken for the construction) of an international telecommunications network for telephone, telex, radio and television. Moreover, it shall see that a specific centre be set up for the World Cup where these communications media can be concentrated (Telecommunications Centre).

The description of such a centre is enclosed with this report.

### 3.6 Transportation

One shall have to determine whether the domestic transport system and the national transport network are capable of preparing the necessary installations and means on time for the technical staging of a World Cup.
