There were 3 proposals submitted by our country at this congress:
  1. EDSO website: our country urges to revamp the EDSO website in line with current IT standards. 
  2. New sport = Petanque. Our country has organised the European Cup Petanque. Now this sport needs to be approved so that an EC can officially be organised. 
  3. Our country wishes clarity regarding the role of EDSO delegate at each EC. Sometimes a European Championship is organised in a country, the nationality of the EDSO delegate being the same nationality. Where is the separation of interests? This should be clearly specified in the regulations.
