There were 3 proposals submitted by our country at this congress:
- EDSO website: our country urges to revamp the EDSO website in line with current IT standards.
- 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.
- 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.
