The meeting will take place on Tuesday, 8 November 2016 at the Albert Borschette Conference Centre (CCAB), 36 rue Froissart, 1040 Brussels (metro Schuman), room 2C, starting at 10.00 am. I am hopeful that all Member States representatives will be able to attend. If such attendance in person is not possible, I would kindly request that all delegations ensure that they make arrangement for authorising another Member State representative to exercise the vote on their behalf since the agenda of the meeting contains one item on which the opinion of the Committee is required. The draft agenda of the meeting is annexed. Other relevant documents will be sent according to the Committee's rules of procedure and will be uploaded onto the Commission's CIRCABC website. Interpretation services at the meeting will be provided to and from English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Travel costs will be reimbursed for one representative per Member State on the basis of the most economical air-fare or the first class train fare (for all return journeys with a total distance of less than 800 km), upon the presentation of travel tickets and boarding cards. Each representative is requested to provide the necessary documents for reimbursement of travel expenses to the meeting secretary in accordance with the financial regulations applicable to the Commission, at the latest within 30 calendar days from the date of the meeting, postmarked, fax date or mail as applicable. After that period, the Commission will not assume any obligation to reimburse travel expenses. I would be grateful if you could inform your competent authorities accordingly and communicate the name, e-mail address and position of the representative appointed to attend the meeting at your earliest convenience to the functional mailbox MO V E-M ARITI ME-TRANSPORT-AND-SAFETYíň)ec.europa.eu. In accordance with the enhanced security measures please provide us with your full name, nationality, passport number and date of birth in order to be admitted in the EU buildings.
