2.1 BILATERAL MEETING ROOMS

There will be 16 bilateral meeting rooms with seats for 14+10 persons. As these rooms

will be in demand, bookings can be made for a maximum of 30 minutes.

Bilateral room reservations are to be made in advance and the rooms will be allocated on

a first come first served basis. The booking form (which will be available in November)

can either be submitted to a dedicated email address (which will also be available in

November) or submitted in person to the bilateral meeting room reservation desk, located

in the delegates working area, adjacent to the Ministerial Council Plenary Hall

On Thursday 6 and Friday 7 December, reservations for bilateral meeting rooms will be

taken only for meetings at Heads of Delegation level.

3. ACCREDITATION

3.1 ACCREDITATION OF DELEGATES

Accreditation on a self-registration basis will take place via a dedicated online registration

system which will be available from 12 midday GMT on 1 October 2012 at

https://delegation.osceministerial2012.ie/php/self/login.php . When you visit the weblink

for the first time, please click “create an account” to register your details. The delegate’s

email address will be the username and a password will be sent to the email address

provided. In addition, each delegation will be allocated a code. The codes will be

emailed separate to this logistic notice by the OSCE Secretariat.

If a delegation wishes to use group registration rather than the self-registration process

above, and have one person manage the registration for all participants attending from a

particular delegation, please contact the OSCE Taskforce by email at [email protected]

to request access for this facility.

A colour photograph of each delegate will be required to be submitted in .jpg format as

part of the online registration process. All personal data sent to the organizer of the event

will be treated in accordance with the highest security and national and international data

protection standards.

In addition, a Note Verbale from the Mission/Delegation in Vienna should be sent

separately to the OSCE Taskforce, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade no later than

6 November with a list of the delegates to ensure that all delegates who have applied for

accreditation have been granted authorization by their authorities to attend the Ministerial

Council. This Note should be sent by email to [email protected] or by fax to

+35314082165.

Page 3: CIRCULAR NOTE No. 2 - OSCE

Should there be any changes to the list of delegates, a further Note Verbale with an

updated list should be submitted to the OSCE Taskforce, Department of Foreign Affairs

and Trade. Accreditation will not be granted to persons who do not appear on the list of

members of the delegation in the Note Verbale.

3.2 ACCREDITATION OF HEADS OF DELEGATION

Heads of Delegation are also obliged to register using the online system. A pin will be

issued for each Head of Delegation and they are requested to wear the pin while in the

conference venue as well as other venues, such as the Heads of Delegation dinner on 6

December.

3.3 ACCREDITATION OF SECURITY PERSONNEL

If the Minister for Foreign Affairs/Head of Delegation is accompanied by national

security officer (s), the delegation is required to complete and submit an online

registration form for security personnel, accompanied by an electronic colour photograph

(in .jpg format) of each security officer. In addition, security officers should be listed in a

separate Note Verbale from the Mission/Delegation in Vienna to Protocol, Department of

Foreign Affairs and Trade. This note should be sent either by email to

[email protected] or by fax to +35314705410.

The same accreditation procedures as outlined above will apply.

3.3.A

Requests to wear uniforms

Foreign military officers (with the exception of approved Military attachés) must apply to

the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for permission to wear Foreign Military

uniform in the State: relevant procedures and contact details are listed at Annex 1

attached.

3.3 B

Weapons

All applications for permits to carry firearms are decided upon by the Department of

Justice and Equality. All requests to carry firearms should be made in advance. The

relevant procedures and contact details are listed at Annex 2 attached.

Delegations which include security personnel and which propose to apply for firearms

permits should note that the granting of permission to carry firearms is not automatic. The

relevant Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishing to apply for such permission should send an

application for approval via Note Verbale to Protocol, Department of Foreign Affairs and

Page 4: CIRCULAR NOTE No. 2 - OSCE

Trade, no later than 6 November 2012. This information should also be submitted as part

of the online registration process for security personnel.

3.3 C Radio Frequencies

An application to use certain frequencies for radio equipment to be used during the visit is

required. Permission for use of frequencies is to be sought via a Note Verbale from the

relevant Ministry of Foreign Affairs through Protocol, Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade no later than 6 November. An alternative frequency should be indicated in the

Note Verbale. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade will inform each Delegation

of the decision of the relevant Irish authorities in relation to use of frequencies. This note

should be sent either by email to [email protected] or by fax to +35314705410.

3.4 ACCREDITATION OF EMBASSY DRIVERS

The RDS will be a secure area. If the delegation is to be accompanied by an Embassy

driver, the delegation must (1) complete and submit an online accreditation form for the

driver and vehicle; (2) submit a colour photograph (in .jpg format) for the driver; (3)

submit the licence plate number of the vehicle; (4) send a separate Note Verbale from the

Permanent Mission in Vienna listing the driver’s details to Protocol in the Department of

Foreign Affairs and Trade no later than 6 November. This note should be sent either by

email to [email protected] or by fax to +35314705410.

The same accreditation procedure as outlined above will apply.

4. HOTEL RESERVATION

choice of hotels in different price categories. Reservations must be made via the

following links:

For individual hotel reservations:

https://events.conferencepartners.ie/ei/getdemo.ei?id=102&s=_0T80UVBNT

For group hotel reservations:

https://events.conferencepartners.ie/ei/getdemo.ei?id=102&s=_0T80UVBNT&bulk=y

The hotel reservations bureau can be contacted by email at the following address:

[email protected].

The Irish Chairmanship strongly recommends that delegations make bookings in hotels

that are listed in Annex 4 as these hotels are integrated into the security and transport

plan.

Page 5: CIRCULAR NOTE No. 2 - OSCE

In accordance with OSCE standards, the Chairmanship will cover accommodation

expenses for the Heads of Delegation from 5-7 December (two nights). Heads of

Delegation are requested to make their hotel reservations via the online reservation

system.

Other hotel charges must be paid directly to the hotel by the delegates.

5. TRANSPORT

Heads of Delegation will be offered a car and driver, exclusively for use at the Ministerial

Council. This service will be available from the time of arrival (but not prior to 5

December) at Dublin Airport (www.dublinairport.com) until departure (no later than 8

December). The service is exclusively reserved for the use of the Head of Delegation and

can accommodate a maximum of one other delegation member.

Each delegation with more than two persons will have a mini-bus and driver. The mini-

bus is to be used exclusively for OSCE Ministerial Council purposes only, from the time

of the delegation’s arrival (not prior to 3 December) at Dublin Airport until departure (not

later than 8 December). The mini-bus will offer seven seats per delegation including

security personnel. The Chairmanship will not provide transportation for any extra

security personnel.

A shuttle service will be available between Dublin Airport, the hotels listed on the

reservation bureau website, the RDS and side events taking place elsewhere.

A waiting area will be established for all accredited drivers at the RDS.

6. SECURITY AT THE RDS

To gain entry to the RDS and while inside the building, a valid i.d. badge or pin must be

worn and visible at all times. In addition, delegates are requested to cooperate with

security check points and to follow the directions of An Garda Síochána (Irish Police

Force), security and protocol staff at all times. Security staff will ensure that visitors only

enter areas that they are permitted to enter.

Page 6: CIRCULAR NOTE No. 2 - OSCE

7. VISAS

A visa waiver for diplomatic passport holders has been agreed for members of

delegations for the period Sunday 2 December to Sunday 9 December inclusive. This

waiver only applies to members of delegations (as confirmed by Note Verbale) who

are travelling on diplomatic passports. All members of delegations travelling on

service or ordinary passports from visa-required countries must apply for a visa

in advance of travel – please see Annex 5 for further information.

Nationals of the following countries travelling on service or ordinary passports

require a visa for entry to Ireland:

Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and

Herzegovina, Egypt, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Georgia, Jordan,

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Russian

Federation, Serbia, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkey, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and

Uzbekistan.

Visa-required delegates should note that Ireland is not in the Schengen zone so a

Schengen visa is not sufficient to enter Ireland.

Visa applicants are encouraged to submit their applications at least four weeks prior

to travelling to Ireland, in order to ensure the timely processing of all visas. The visa

fee will be waived, however, applicants will be responsible for courier charges where

applicable.

Submitting a Visa Application

Visa applications should first be made on-line at:

https://www.visas.inis.gov.ie/avats/OnlineHome.aspx

When processing the registration for the visa application:

step in the visa application process. An application can only be processed when the

on-line form is completed AND the required backing documentation and passport

photograph are received by the relevant office as indicated by the on-line system. This

will usually be the Irish Embassy or Consulate in, or accredited to, the country in

which you normally reside.

For attendance at OSCE events in Ireland, special arrangements have been put in

place to process visa applications. If you are directed by the online system to forward

Page 7: CIRCULAR NOTE No. 2 - OSCE

your application to Dublin, please disregard this request and send your documentation

to your nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate, or the Irish Embassy in Vienna, which is

authorised to process your application in a timely manner.
