Introduction: motivation, concept and public opinion

Paris 2012: Serving and Contributing to Olympism

Paris's principal motivation for hosting the Olympic

and Paralympic Games in 2012 is to serve and contribute

to Olympism through a project representing

a fundamental stage in the history of Paris

and the diffusion of Olympic values.

Through Paris 2012, all France is expressing its motivation

to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012.

It is the expression of a will and a deep desire to play

a part in spreading the values of Olympism and to make

a contribution to the mission and action of the International

Olympic Committee (IOC).

In the hearts of the bid's Founding Members, the Olympic

project represents a unique opportunity in the history of

Paris and the Ile-de-France Region to:

• rethink the urban development of the City and

its immediate surroundings,

• complete and improve the public transport system,

• launch an ambitious undertaking towards the inhabitants

of Paris, the Ile-de-France Region and, by extension,

the whole of France, to promote and develop behaviours

that will reconcile Man and his environment,

• create sports facilities still lacking in the Paris region,

• enhance the development of sport.

To achieve this objective, Paris will be relying both on its

Olympic and sports legacy as well as on its culture built

on the universal values of freedom, equality and fraternity.

Furthermore, if it is selected as the host city for 2012,

Paris wishes to build a project that will represent a strong

step in the diffusion of the values of Olympism by:

• offering athletes an outstanding welcome through

an ambitious Olympic Village concept with nearby

clusters hosting most venues,

• organising a welcome for the Olympic Family combining

optimal comfort and warmth,

• placing the Olympic celebration at the heart

of the project and of Paris,

• promoting a transformation in the attitudes

and behaviours of members of French society,

to the point of making them true “Olympic citizens”,

• seeking to enrich the values of Olympism with additional

reference values inherent to the new century.

Serving and contributing to Olympism therefore means,

for Paris 2012, undertaking a real push for transformation,

by carrying the Olympic experience to the hilt. The Games

in Paris in 2012 must appear as a founding gesture,

providing new impetus to all, athletes and non-athletes,

united by the same ambition for the future.

1/ Introduction

a - What is your principal motivation for hosting the Olympic Games?

b - What would be the impact and legacy for your City/Region of hosting the Olympic Games?

Introduction:motivation, concept and public opinion

a - The concept of the Olympic and Paralympic Games

in Paris in 2012 is based on the location and organisation

of most of the venues at the gates of Paris, along the Ring

road, so leaving the heart of the capital free for celebration.

The aim of this concept is to fundamentally implement

the International Olympic Committee's guidelines: achieve

a high level of sporting, cultural and environmental

excellence, control the complexity and cost of the Games,

and provide the best possible post-Olympic legacy.

The venues will be positioned around the Olympic Village,

located in the north-west of Paris. At a distance of

six kilometres on either side of the Village, there are

two “clusters” of sports venues to the west and north

of Paris, with all venues being linked by dedicated lanes.

The Western cluster comprises ten sports venues.

Its anchor point is at the Porte de Saint-Cloud gate,

in Paris's historic sports venues: the stadiums of

Pierre de Coubertin, Parc des Princes, Jean Bouin

and Roland Garros. It extends northwards into the Bois

de Boulogne green park with temporary installations.

The Northern cluster incorporates eight sports venues,

the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) and the Main

Press Centre (MPC). To the north, it is bordered by Stade

de France® (Olympic Stadium) and, to the south, by

the permanent SuperDome erected near the Porte

de la Chapelle gate. Inside this area, five temporary

pavilions will be erected and a permanent Aquatics Centre

will be built on the banks of the Saint-Denis canal.

In addition to the Western and Northern clusters

and the Olympic Village, the project incorporates:

■ Two venues in the heart of the city,

• the temporary Beach Volleyball venue at the foot

of the Eiffel Tower,

• the existing Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy for Judo

and Taekwondo,

■ Five specific venues in the Ile-de-France region,

• two temporary venues in Versailles for Road Cycling

and Shooting,

• two venues at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines for Track

Cycling (permanent velodrome) and Mountain Bike,

• the existing Vaires-sur-Marne basin for Rowing and

Canoe-Kayak,

■ Five venues in the country,

• the Port des Minimes port at La Rochelle for Sailing,

• the Football stadiums of Lens, Lyon, Marseille and Nantes.

Furthermore, the central location of Parisian hotel

facilities, their capacity and their diversity guarantee

the accommodation of the Olympic Family and accredited

media at the very heart of the Olympic set-up and complete

its consistency.

The Paris 2012 concept is built on major existing

venues including the Olympic Stadium. It ensures

optimal utilisation of venues during the Olympic and

Paralympic Games. As regards the post-Olympic legacy,

the risk of under-used venues is minimised, with only

four additional sports venues being kept.

Since 1992, Paris and the Ile-de-France region have

committed themselves to a sustainable development

approach in accordance with the Agenda 21 adopted

by France during the United Nations Conference

on Environment and Sustainable Development. Based

on ambitious and promising urban development

projects and on a vision of the Olympic experience

as a unique opportunity to increase awareness

and change behaviours, the organisation of the Olympic

and Paralympic Games in Paris in 2012 would push ahead

this policy.

Introduction: motivation, concept and public opinion

a - The French have a real passion for large sportingevents.

The regular hosting of a number of high-level sporting

events, such as the cycling Tour de France, the Roland

Garros French Open Tennis tournament and the Six

Nations Rugby tournament, always arouses a great deal of

popular enthusiasm.

This enthusiasm was especially noticeable during major

events such as the FIFA Football World Cup in 1998 and,

recently, the 9th IAAF World Championships in Athletics in

August 2003.

To assess the support of the French population for Paris's

bid, the Taylor Nelson Sofres Institute conducted a poll

between November 20 and 23, 2003.

The survey was conducted with the following three sample

populations:

• 600 persons representing the population of Paris,

aged 18 or above,

• 800 persons representing the Ile-de-France region,

aged 18 or above,

• 1,000 persons in France aged 18 or above.

In response to the question: “To what extent are you

in favour of, or opposed to, the hosting of the summer

Olympic Games in Paris in 2012?”, it was found that:

• 75% of Parisians,

• 73% of the Ile-de-France population,

• 67% of French people,

are in favour of hosting the Olympic Games in 2012.

b - There is no opposition to Paris's bid for the 2012Olympic and Paralympic Games.

3/ Public opiniona - What is the general public opinion in your City/Region and country towards your project

of hosting the Olympic Games?

b - What opposition is there to your project? Please detail.

Political support

a - Paris's bid for the organisation of the Games forthe XXX Olympiad arises from a common will,

enthusiastically supported by all public authorities

on national, regional and local levels. Indeed, this

wonderful challenge transcends all political divisions

and enjoys the unanimous adhesion of all those concerned.

Paris is bidding for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic

Games at the initiative of the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand

DELANOE, with the full backing of the Municipal Council,

along with the President of the French National Olympic

Committee (CNOSF), Henri SERANDOUR.

For the French State, the project received from the outset

the active backing of the President of the Republic,

Jacques CHIRAC.

The French Government, led by Prime Minister

Jean-Pierre RAFFARIN, is making an active contribution

to preparing Paris's bid with, above all, the involvement

of the Sports Minister, Jean-François LAMOUR, who is

contributing all his experience of the Olympic World.

On the regional level, the project is supported

by the entire Ile-de-France Regional Council, chaired

by Jean-Paul HUCHON.

The support of the various public authorities is clearly

demonstrated by the composition of the Bid Committee.

(see question II - 5).

Moreover, the departments of the various public

authorities are closely associated with the project's

preparation for Paris 2012 through permanent working

groups and according to their competencies.

b - Letter provided.

c - The dates of elections to be held in the City of Paris,the Ile-de-France Region and France between now and the

election of the Host City in July 2005 are as follows:

• March 21 and 28, 2004: regional and cantonal elections

(except Paris),

• June 13, 2004: election of Members of European

Parliament,

• September 26, 2004: senatorial elections.

d - Letter provided.

4/ Government, NOC and City supporta - What is the status of support of the national, regional, local government and city authorities

for your bid and for the organisation of the Olympic Games in your City/Region?

b - Provide a covenant from the government of your country.

c - Please provide dates of any elections due to take place in your City/Region/Country,

between now and the election of the Host City (July 2005).

d - Provide a letter of guarantee signed by both your country’s NOC and your City authorities.

II

13

Political support

The Bid Committee will have the same structure as the one

used as Applicant City. Indeed, the French National Olympic

Committee (CNOSF), the City of Paris, the State and the

Ile-de-France Region have set up the “Paris - Ile-de-France

2012” government-based interest group with the aim

of presenting Paris's bid for the Games of the XXX Olympiad

and for the Paralympic Games in 2012. Presided

by Bertrand DELANOE, Mayor of Paris, the Group has

the mission of supporting and promoting this bid

on the national and international stage, while preserving

the ideal and spirit of Olympism, in compliance with

the directives provided by the IOC.

The Group’s structure brings together public and private

persons in a completely transparent manner. The managing

bodies of the Paris 2012 Group are as follows:

■ The “Founding Committee” which adopts decisions

designed to ensure that the objectives pursued by the group

are achieved. In particular, it is responsible for drawing up

the candidature file and defining the communication

strategy. Apart from the two French Olympic Champions,

Jean-Claude KILLY and Guy DRUT, also International

Olympic Committee Members, it comprises the following

members:

• Bertrand DELANOE, Mayor of Paris,

• Henri SERANDOUR, President of the French National

Olympic Committee and International Olympic Committee

Member,

• Jean-François LAMOUR, Minister of Sports and Olympic

Champion,

• Jean-Paul HUCHON, President of the Ile-de-France

Regional Council,

• Bertrand LANDRIEU, Prefect of the Ile-de-France Region,

• Marie-Claire RESTOUX, technical advisor to the President

of the French Republic and Olympic Champion,

• Arnaud LAGARDERE, President of the Lagardère Group,

• Maurice HERZOG, former Minister, Honorary Member

of the International Olympic Committee,

• Alain DANET, Honour Member of the International

Olympic Committee.

■ The “Candidature Committee” which plays a part

in defining the group's policy and determining the bid’s

strategy. It is made up of eminent personalities with

a variety of competencies, with different sensibilities

and from various backgrounds: elected members

of public authorities and representatives of the sports world

(federations and athletes), the State and the business sector.

The Founding Committee has appointed a Chief Executive

Officer responsible for supervising the bid: Philippe

BAUDILLON, diplomat, CEO and former Cabinet Director

for Paris's bid for the 1992 Olympic Games. He is assisted

by Essar GABRIEL, Deputy CEO and Chief Operating Officer,

who was Manager of four Olympic and Paralympic venues

in Sydney in 2000 and CEO of the Paris 2003

Saint-Denis IAAF World Championships in Athletics.

The CEO leads a team of permanent staff recruited from

the public and private sectors, all of who were selected

on the basis of their competencies and experience

in the preparation and organisation of major international

sporting events. They include, in particular, two Olympic

Champions, Olivier LENGLET and Thierry REY

and Olympian Etienne THOBOIS.

In addition, to optimise its understanding of the specific

characteristics of organising the Olympic and Paralympic

Games, the Group is calling in many international experts

recognised for their competencies and experience

regarding such events (with regards to finance, security,

transport, environment…).

Furthermore, the Paris 2012 Bid Committee is working,

on a constant basis, in close collaboration with the various

departments of the founding members. This ensures that

the ambitions, motivations and preoccupations of all those

concerned are taken into consideration at an early stage

in working groups, so as to ensure concerted and consistent

decision-making.

5/ Future Bid Committee

Should you be accepted as a Candidate City to host the 2012 Olympic Games,

how would your Candidature Committee be structured and composed?

II

15

Political support

a- France has a legal system that is perfectly suited to

hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games on its territory.

It was in that context that France organised the XVIth Winter

Olympics in Albertville-Savoie in 1992.

b- Current laws are well suited to the organisation of major sports competitions as has been demonstrated

by recent examples. Nevertheless, the adoption of any

supplementary legislative or statutory provisions which

could be useful for the preparation and organisation

of the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be considered

favourably. In that context, some administrative procedures

could be simplified and/or accelerated.

c - No.

d- The law of 1984 regarding the organisation andpromotion of physical activities specifies the framework

for relations between the State and sports activities.

It also prescribes regulations concerning security

in sports facilities.

This law was recently amended to increase the autonomy of

sports federations. It recognises the role of general interest

played by the CNOSF as a representative

of the sports movement in France: it is the legal owner

of the national Olympic emblems and the trustee for

the Olympic slogan, anthem and symbol and the terms

“Olympic Games” and “Olympiad”.

Furthermore, regional authorities are legally competent

to contribute to the development of sport.

e- France has adopted specific anti-doping laws and these have been integrated into public health

legislation. Its objective is to protect the health

of sportsmen and sportswomen and to ensure fairness

in competitions.

The legislation provides for the possibility of carrying out

anti-doping tests, based on the common list established by

the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This legislation was

last amended by the law of March 23, 1999, prior to the

drawing up of the World Anti-Doping Code and to the

founding of WADA.

France has signed the Copenhagen declaration and,

in accordance with that undertaking, will comply with

the World Anti-doping Code within the agreed time-table.

France is now pursuing the objective of integrating

its national anti-doping policy with the system set up world-

wide by WADA.

f - France is a signatory of the European Council’s anti-doping convention, it cooperates with the World

Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since its founding, participates

in its funding and collaborates in its work.

It is a signatory of the Copenhagen declaration aimed

at recognising the roles of WADA and the World Anti-Doping

Code. France has joined the working committee

responsible for drawing up a global anti-doping convention

under the auspices of UNESCO.

6/ Legal aspectsa - What are the legal obstacles, if any, to the organisation of the Olympic Games

in your country?

b - Do you envisage the implementation of any new laws to facilitate the organisation

of the Olympic Games? Explain.

c - Does legislation in your country require you to carry out a referendum for a project

of this nature?

d - What are the existing laws, if any, in your country that relate to sport?

e - What are the laws, or other means, in your country, if any, that combat doping in sport?

f - Have the relevant authorities in your country signed an agreement with the World

Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)?

Does your country currently apply an anti-doping code? Explain.

Finance

The CNOSF, the City of Paris, the Ile-de-France Region

and the French Government have set up a government-

based interest group to design and promote Paris's bid.

Government-based interest groups are a legally defined

form of organisation and have legal status. They are

managed like private firms, but are subject to special

provisions for the monitoring of their actions by public

authorities.

The City of Paris, the Ile-de-France Region and the French

Government have each undertaken to provide 25%

of the estimated budget. The last quarter will be funded

by the private sector, supporters, firms or institutions

wishing to be associated with the image of Paris's bid.

The global budget for the bid, adopted by the group’s

Founding Committee on December 9, 2003, amounts

to USD 27.6*. The breakdown is as follows:

7/ Candidature budgetShould you be accepted as a Candidate City to host the 2012 Olympic Games, describe

how and by whom your candidature will be financed. What is your budget (in USD) for:

• Phase II (Candidature)

It should be noted that departments of the City of Paris,

the Ile-de-France Region and the Government, as well

as many public and semi-public bodies, are actively

contributing to the design of the Paris bid. At present,

it is difficult to give a precise assessment of that

contribution, which is not included in the figures

shown above.

In accordance with international accounting rules,

the amounts of revenue and expenditure are expressed

as absolute values. All monetary flows are thus described

in this budget. Expenditure related to the visit

of the IOC Evaluation Commission, and production

of the IOC questionnaire (phase I) and the candidature

file (phase II) will be subjected to analytical follow-up.

Through its commitment to the Paris bid project,

the French Government, the Ile-de-France Region

and the City of Paris commit de facto to take every

necessary step, particularly with regards to finance,

to ensure the successful organisation of the Games

of the XXX Olympiad in Paris in 2012.

If Paris's bid is accepted by the IOC, the details and form of

the financial undertakings given by the national, regional

and municipal authorities will be specified.

They will comply with the recommendations of the IOC.

The budget for the organisation of the Olympic Games

(OCOG budget) will, for its part, be funded essentially by

privately raised funds with, in the forefront, the Olympic

Marketing Programme and the sales of services. Cover for

any OCOG deficit will be guaranteed by the French

Government.

The funding of main and sports infrastructures required for

the Games, which will constitute a long-term legacy (non-

OCOG budget) will not in any circumstances be ensured

using income drawn from the Olympic Marketing

Programme. This funding will be provided by public and/or

private authorities according to the type of equipment

concerned and its post-Olympic use.

The public authorities give the undertaking that the OCOG

will not be required to meet any expense that does not

directly result from the organisation of the Games.

IIIFinance

8/ Games budgetHow will your Games budget be structured (private vs. public financing)?

Government contributionsWhat financial commitments have you obtained from your national, regional

or local government and City authorities?

21

Paris's unique geographical location within the European

market, the economic level of France and of its immediate

neighbours are guarantees of the success of an ambitious

Olympic Marketing Programme.

This analysis is backed up by the support shown for

the Paris bid by large firms and by the business sector

in general.

At this stage, caution is called for in establishing a realistic

estimate of the income that the future OCOG could

generate. If Paris is selected as a candidate city, more

detailed studies will be conducted in drawing up

the estimated budget.

IIIFinance

9/ OCOG revenue generating potentialIn addition to the financial contribution you will receive from the IOC, what other

revenue do you expect to be able to generate?

These estimates were drawn up on the basis of:

• data provided by the IOC on income from past Games,

• experience acquired in the context of large sporting

events organised in France,

• the potential and the economic attraction offered

by the Olympic Games in Paris.

For ticket sales income, calculation of income is based

on the capacity of the planned venues, the expected

number of sessions, a mean attendance rate per sport

and an average price per ticket.

It should be noted that no allowance is made for income

in the form of donations or subsidies. In accordance with

the principle of caution, donations cannot be considered

as potential sources of revenues until this hypothesis

is supported by tangible evidence. As regards subsidies,

it is not planned for local authorities to contribute to the

financing of the OCOG budget (unless the State guarantee

is brought into play). They play an important part, however,

in the non-OCOG budget.

Stade de France®, Roland Garros and Pierre de Coubertin

stadiums, the Longchamp and Auteuil racecourses,

the Vaires-sur-Marne basin and the 1900 Olympic venue

Croix Catelan.

The football stadiums in provincial cities all hosted

the Football World Cup in 1998 and so offer guaranteed

high-quality facilities (in accordance with FIFA standards).

Twelve of the sixteen additional venues will be temporary.

The Ile-de-France region will enjoy the post-Olympic

heritage listed below:

• the Aquatics Centre,

• the “SuperDome”,

• the Velodrome,

• the Shooting Centre.

Moreover, the Olympic requirements will enrich an already

ambitious project of expanding the Roland Garros stadium.

These venues will meet needs that have been clearly

identified by sports organisations and local authorities.

The crowd capacity will be reduced after the Games to

ensure their long-term post-Olympic use and operation.

a - The Paris 2012 Olympic Village project fullfils three requirements:

• ensure the well-being and safety of athletes,

• offer an outstanding location in the heart of Paris

and close to the sports venues,

• form part of the Olympic legacy.

Located inside the City of Paris, the Olympic Village

will cover an area of approximately fifty hectares

in the Batignolles site. It will be at an equal distance

from the two Northern and Western venue clusters,

and in the immediate vicinity of the tourist attractions

of the capital.

The international zone of the Olympic Village will be

in the northern part, with direct access to the ring road.

As for the residential area, this will be designed to

provide an ideal environment for the delegations. It will be

organised around a large park of approximately

ten hectares. The urban location chosen, the organisation

of the buildings and the care taken with landscaping

will place the athletes in a setting that will ensure

their tranquillity and well-being.

The Olympic Village is designed as a model urban

rehabilitation scheme. Built on one of the last remaining

areas of Paris requiring redevelopment, it will be reconverted

into a high-quality, balanced contemporary district.

Its design, building, usage and reconversion are thought

in terms of sustainable development and “Environmental

High Quality” standards.

It will leave its Olympic stamp on the whole city

and herald the place of sport in modern cities.

b - Funding for the Olympic Village will be provided by public and/or private bodies depending on the nature

and post-Olympic use of the installations.

The future OCOG will, for its part, provide for

the expenditure concerning the organisation

of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

c - All the athletes and officials will reside in the

Olympic Village in Batignolles.

An additional Village will be specially developed

for the organisation of sailing events at La Rochelle.

International Broadcast Centre (IBC)/Main Press Centre (MPC)

a - The International Broadcast Centre (IBC) and the

Main Press Centre (MPC) will be located in two

neighbouring buildings, in the immediate proximity of the

Olympic Stadium and the venues where major events will

be held (Swimming, Gymnastics, Basketball, etc.).

As well as having direct access to the Olympic Stadium,

these two centres will be provided with excellent transport

facilities.

The MPC will subsequently be converted into offices,

in keeping with the tertiary sector designation of the area

in which it is planned.

The IBC will be a temporary facility.

b - The IBC installations will be funded by the OCOG.The funding for the MPC will be provided by public and/or

private bodies depending on its final post-Olympic nature

and use.

Accommodation

[See appendix 4 - Chart II]

a- Ile-de-France is the region that receives

the greatest number of foreign visitors every year

in the world. In 2002, it welcomed 44.6 million persons.

Within a 50-kilometre radius around the centre

of Paris, hotel facilities offer nearly 140,000 rooms

in more than 2,320 hotels. More than 55% of those hotels

are concentrated within inner Paris and nearly 80%

are located within a 10-kilometre radius.

Thanks in particular to the Regional Tourism Scheme

in Ile-de-France, Paris's hotel facilities are constantly

increasing and being modernised: the number of hotel

rooms has increased by 7,000 in the last three years.

The accommodation options offered cover the whole

range of hotel services.

Paris and its region can therefore comfortably provide the

hotel capacity and diversity required to welcome all the

various types of visitors concerned by the Olympic and

Paralympic Games (Olympic Family, accredited media,

athletes's families, spectators, organisers, volunteers, etc.).

VITransport infrastructure

[See Appendix 5 – Chart III]

A constantly improving, dense roadnetwork

The road network in Ile-de-France is a tight-meshed

and highly structured system:

• In Paris, all streets, avenues and boulevards are

controlled by a constantly improving, modern traffic

control system,

• The City of Paris and its immediate surroundings

(“Petite Couronne”) are served by the Ring road,

an express way with three or four lanes on each

carriageway, which goes right round the capital city

and is used by nearly a million vehicles a day,

• The region is covered by a 576-kilometre motorway

network which is constantly being improved.

Numerous works projects scheduled for between now

and 2012 will facilitate access to the various Olympic

and Paralympic venues.

An efficient public transport network

Paris and Ile-de-France have six major railway stations

at the heart of a well-developed rail network comprising

conventional lines and high-speed lines: putting London

within three hours by Eurostar and Brussels within one

hour by Thalys.

The Ile-de-France region also has a unique public

transport rail network renowned for its modernity

and its efficiency.

It comprises:

• a suburban railway network (SNCF),

• a regional express network (RER),

• an especially close-knit metropolitan railway network,

• tram routes.

Altogether, the rail network extends for more than 1,620 km,

serving 860 stations provided for users. The specific features

of each of these networks and their interconnection provides

a suitable response to a variety of needs, from short journeys

within inner Paris (served by the close-knit Paris metro

network) to transport facilities for the suburbs.

An extensive bus network completes the transport

facilities for Paris and surrounding areas.

In addition, local authorities have been pursuing in recent

years ambitious projects to provide cycle tracks. Thanks

to the proximity and compactness of the venues, it will be

possible to develop an innovative, user-friendly traffic

programme with a view to promoting protection

of the environment.

Today, the Olympic and Paralympic venues and, in particular,

the Northern and Western clusters are served by the

existing public transport facilities: bus, metro, tram, and

RER. Projects are already being studied to modernise the

existing infrastructures and/or develop new ones in order to

provide direct, fast links.

Special attention will be paid to the accessibility of public

transport networks for persons with limited mobility

or special needs, in line with the national programme

under way.

15/ a - Existing transport infrastructureIndicate your existing transport infrastructure: motorways and major urban

arterial network, suburban rail, subway and light rail public transport systems.

b - Planned transport infrastructureIndicate all transport infrastructure developments planned irrespective

of your application but having a possible impact on Olympic site accessibility.

c-

b - Two other airports will also be used in the context of

the Olympic and Paralympic Games:

• Orly Airport: This airport caters for more than 23 million

passengers a year. Nearby international destinations are

very well served, including southern Europe (Spain, Italy,

Portugal, Turkey, etc.), North Africa (Morocco, Algeria,

Tunisia, etc.) and the Middle East (Egypt, Syria, Iran,

Jordan, etc.).

Furthermore, air transport to and from Orly is especially

well adapted for the domestic network.

• Le Bourget Airport: Although it is not open to

commercial traffic, this is a busy airport for business

aircrafts. It could be used for the transport of accredited

individuals.

Transport infrastructure

a - The main airport used for the organisation

of the Olympic Games and Paralympics will be

Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle Airport (CDG).

The essential reasons for this choice are as follows:

• International dimension: CDG is a major European

airport, being the third-ranked in 2002 with 48 million

passengers. About a hundred airlines currently operate

at CDG, serving more than 100 countries and 340 cities.

In addition to those destinations, the three major world

air transport alliances (One World®, Star Alliance®,

Sky Team®) operate at this airport.

• Scale of infrastructures: Four runways and three air

terminals. Many improvements and modernisations are

also planned between now and 2012. (See table below).

• Quality of land transport services: Access to the airport

is facilitated by links with Paris (A1 and A3 motorways,

RER express railway network and direct bus lines)

and the TGV railway station located in Terminal 2.

What current transport challenges does your City face and how do you intend to

overcome these at Games time?

Like every major capital in the world, Paris experiences

traffic peaks at certain rush hours, which may create one-

off traffic problems.

Paris and its suburbs have all the necessary technical

facilities and human resources to be able to host sporting

events on an international scale in the best possible

conditions. This is borne out by the experiences of the FIFA

World Cup in Football in 1998 and, recently, the 2003 IAAF

World Championships in Athletics at Paris Saint-Denis.

Current conditions provide the guarantee of optimal traffic

flow for accredited populations and spectators during

the period of the Games:

• the planned period – from July 20 to August 5 –

traditionally coincides with the annual holiday period

in France, so providing free-flowing traffic conditions

in the capital.

• the existing transport network is modern and close-knit,

and the planned improvements will make it even more

efficient, safer and faster (See question VI - 15).

• Paris and the Ile-de-France Region now benefit

from reliable real-time traffic control and information

systems: improved planned for 2012 will increase

the efficiency of the facilities provided and make journeys

more comfortable.

Furthermore, specifically:

• the compact lay-out of venues developed by Paris 2012,

around two main sports venue clusters and the location

of the Olympic Village mid-way between them along the

Ring road, will keep the length of journeys and transport

times between venues to the minimum.

• a “strategic transport plan” will be set up for the

Games with the purpose of, firstly, ensuring smooth-

flowing traffic conditions for accredited populations and,

secondly, encouraging spectators to use public transport

by means of a special offer on tickets in particular

(sports ticket + transport).

• a “dedicated Olympic Lane” will be set aside for

accredited persons, linking the sports venues. Functional

and technical studies are currently in progress.

General conditions, logistics andexperience

The dates envisaged by the Paris 2012 project, from

Friday July 20, 2012 (Opening Ceremony), to Sunday

August 5, 2012 (Closing Ceremony), are within the period

prescribed by the International Olympic Committee.

The Paralympic Games will end on the first Sunday in

September, before the start of the new school term in

France and before normal business is fully resumed.

The main reasons for this choice are:

• the dates fall within the traditional period for annual

holidays, so ensuring:

- optimal availability for voluntary work,

- the least busy road traffic conditions,

- 370 million potential spectators located within a

travelling time of two hours from Paris by plane or five

hours by TGV high-speed train,

• the dates also allow the Paralympic Games to be

organised within that same traditional summer

holiday period,

• the dates are within the most suitable climatic period in the

year for athletes's performances. (See question VII - 22),

• the dates come after the French National Holiday of July

14, and this is the best time in terms of availability of

hotel accommodation in Paris where customers are

mainly business clientele,

• these dates are the most suitable with regards to the

harmonious scheduling of major international events.

They come after the Wimbledon Tennis tournament and

before the resumption of the European Football season.

Furthermore, the finish of the Tour de France cycling

race which is traditionally in Paris will count among the

highly compelling sports events occurring before the

Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Paris

Temperature and humidity

During the period from July 20 to August 5, the daytime

temperature in Paris and the neighbouring suburbs varies

between an average 19°C at about 9 a.m. and 26°C

between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. local time.

The extreme temperatures noted range between 14°C and

37°C. The daily average relative humidity is 55%.

The temperatures and relative humidity at this time of year

are therefore at particularly suitable levels for the practice

of sports competition, as well as providing extremely

pleasant conditions for spectators.

Rainfall

Rainfall takes the form of short storms and showers at this

time of year that are highly variable from one year to

another. For Paris, the average number of days with

rainfall between July 20 and August 5 is four days for the

period 1994-2002.

Winds

Winds are mainly light to moderate during this period in

the Paris region. The prevailing winds are south-westerly,

the second most predominant sector being the north-east.

The Vaires-sur-Marne venue, where the Rowing and

Canoe-Kayak events will take place, also provides

favourable meteorological conditions.

La Rochelle

Temperature

La Rochelle is located on an ocean shore which allows it to

avoid too hot summer temperatures. The mean maximum

summer temperatures are between 22 and 25°C.

Rainfall

Storms are infrequent between July and September

(statistically 1 or 2 a month) and there is practically no fog.

(There are no areas of cold water offshore to bring in thick

fog).

Winds

The winds are mainly light to moderate during this period.

The prevailing winds are south-westerly and north-westerly

and are stronger from the latter sector. The third most

predominant sector is the north-east.

The regularity of sea breezes is an important characteristic

of the water surface at La Rochelle. It provides regular,

even sailing conditions. In fact, the summer months are

very favourable for the formation of thermal breezes

(which blow from the south-west and north-west in the

afternoon).

a - Paris and its region offer optimal environmentalconditions to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. In

spite of its fairly small, urbanised area, the region's natural

environments are varied and well distributed.

As no major industrial activity is conducted in Paris, the

city's environmental conditions are good as illustrated by

the following criteria:

• Air quality: This is ensured partly by the climatic

situation of the Paris region. Air quality is continuously

monitored by an independent organisation that is

internationally known for its reliability.

• Water quality: A catchment and treatment network along

with a testing and safety system ensure the production of

drinking water of excellent quality which safeguards the

city from any health risk.

• Waste management: For some years, a considerable

effort has been made to modernise the waste treatment

system by introducing selective sorting and recycling.

• Noise: Noise pollution is monitored by means of precise

mapping so as to define actions for noise reduction and

protection, and restrictive statutory measures for building

operations.

b- The Agenda 21-type approach and the limiting of theecological impact are now priority objectives for public

institutions. Transport policies are organised in the context

of an Urban Plan which aims to control energy

consumption and the resulting pollution while reducing

traffic at the centre of the urban area.

Finally, to protect its large green spaces, the City of Paris

has drawn up a Sustainable Management Charter for the

green parks of Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes.

c - The organisation of the Olympic and ParalympicGames will have extremely positive impacts in terms of

economic regeneration, heritage conservation and

enhancement of natural spaces.

In the North, the site of Plaine Saint-Denis, a former

industrial site, will be organised along a green axis which

will provide the backbone for the urban renovation project.

The permanent installation of the SuperDome near Porte de

la Chapelle will be a suitable development for the revamping

of this area and the linking between Paris and its suburbs.

In the West, the building of the Dome will provide a better

link between the large natural space of Bois de Boulogne

(860 hectares) and surrounding districts.

Finally, the Olympic Village constitutes an exemplary

operation of urban renewal. It will be developed around a

10-hectare park on the basis of an environmentalist

approach, using innovative techniques (management of

water, waste, energy, and construction and planting

techniques).

During the Games, noise nuisances will be limited

everywhere and the air quality will be improved owing to

the compactness of the set-up and the utilisation of non-

polluting means of travel.

d- France has a strict statutory framework whichrequires contractors to submit large-scale projects to

environmental assessment.

Moreover, France has signed the agreements of Rio in

1992 and Kyoto in 1997. In line with the latter, the Games

provide a unique opportunity to adopt a genuine sustainable

development approach. Based on the Olympic Movement's

action programme in Agenda 21, an environmental

management system will be set up.

In this context, the future OCOG will undertake to draw up

education and public awareness programmes with the aim

of ensuring that this approach is shared by all.

23/ Environment

a - Provide an assessment of current environmental conditions in your City.

b - Provide details of ongoing environmental projects and their organisation.

c - Provide an assessment of the environmental impact of staging the Olympic Games in your

City.

d - Have environmental impact studies been carried out on any of your proposed venues and does

legislation in your country require you to carry out environmental impact studies?

Sporting events, whether focusing on a single sport or a

set of sports, hold a lion's share of the many international

events organised every year in Paris and in the Ile-de-

France Region.

Equipped with modern, efficient sports infrastructures

meeting the requirements of International Federations,

Paris has gradually built up recognised know-how in the

field of organisation. This experience is an important

strength in view of the wide range of Olympic and

Paralympic events.

This success also owes a great deal to:

- the passion of French people for sport,

- the great potential for the mobilisation of volunteers

around the sports movement,

- the availability of qualified professionals.

Over the last ten years, Paris has successfully hosted the

following events:

Multisports: European Youth Olympic Festival

from July 27 to August 1, 2003.

Athletics: IAAF World Championships

from August 23 to 31, 2003, at Stade de France®.

Basketball: FIBA Europe European Nations

Championships from June 21 to July 3, 1999, at Palais

Omnisports de Paris Bercy.

Cycling: Tour de France, every year during the first two

weeks of July. Last stage and finish traditional in Paris,

on the Champs-Elysées.

Football: FIFA World Cup from June 10 to July 12, 1998.

Nine matches at Stade de France® and six matches at

Parc des Princes.

Gymnastics: EUG European Women's Artistic Gymnastics

Championships from May 12 to 14, 2000, at Palais

Omnisports de Paris Bercy.

Handball: IHF World Championships from January 20 to

February 4, 2001, at Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy

(final phase).

Judo: IJF World Championships from October 9

to 12, 1997, at Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy.

Tennis: FFT French Open every year in May-June since

1928, at Roland Garros stadium.

Table Tennis: ITTF World Championships, from 19

to 22 May, 2003, at Palais Ominsports de Paris Bercy.

a - In France, security is the responsibility of the State

which keeps watch over the whole country to ensure

observance of laws, the fulfilment of international

obligations, keeping of the peace and maintaining of public

order, and the protection of persons and property.

In Paris, the Prefect of Police is responsible for security

under the authority of the Minister of the Interior, Internal

Security and Local Freedoms.

b - The Prefect of Police has all the forces required toensure the security of the Olympic and Paralympic Games:

more than 40,000 police officers and gendarmes mobilised

and 16,500 firemen and 2,000 voluntary emergency

workers who provide emergency services. Mobile units of

the national reserves also play their part, providing 15,000

additional police officers and gendarmes. The Army can

also be called upon, if required.

The police officers, firemen and gendarmes are all

professionals recruited through competitive entrance

examinations and trained in special schools. They attend

continuous refresher courses and regular training

sessions, and they also benefit from the latest security

equipment.

Since 2002, these services have been equipped with a new

digital radio system. This system provides reliable safe

communication in real time between all services in the

field, including underground public transport.

c - The assignments of the Prefect of Police have

undergone significant changes in recent years.

In the Paris region, the Prefect of Police has sole

command of an organisation which includes all agents

involved in security and emergency services: police

departments (police officers divided between public

security services – twenty police stations, detective

brigades and a police division specialised in public

transport, criminal investigation department and

information services), support administrations (logistics

department, central laboratory, administrative

departments responsible for public regulation and

protection) and emergency services (professional firemen

with the possible backing of non-governmental emergency

service organisations).

Co-ordination between these various departments is

ensured by headquarters and information and control rooms

suitably sized and equipped to handle large-scale events.

They are all housed within of the Prefecture of Police.

In addition, several enactments since 2002 have extended

the field of competence of the Prefect of Police to the

departments of the Paris region in two especially sensitive

sectors: public transport police and management of

mobile forces.

In the specific field of security for major events, the Prefect

of Police has, since 1995, special powers as Defence Area

Prefect. In this context, he co-ordinates the action of the

Prefects of the seven “Départements” in the Paris region

with regard to security, law and order, and emergency

services. This reinforced co-ordination has been

implemented regularly over recent years: World Youth

Days, FIFA World Cup, Year 2000 celebrations.

To ensure the efficiency of this general system, a full area

headquarters has been set up. This allows the Prefect of

Police to co-ordinate, in real time, the action of State

services in the Paris region.

25/ Securitya - Who will have ultimate responsibility for security during the Olympic Games?

b - What security resources do you plan to provide for the Olympic Games

(human resources – public and/or private sector - and technology)?

c - Does legislation in your country permit an effective single management structure,

whatever the provenance of the human and technical resources to be used?

Would your government be willing to implement new laws in order to achieve an efficient

structure and a security operation that is appropriate to the special circumstances of the

Olympic Games?

* Distances and times are rounded to the nearest unit.The routes are determined according to the following estimated speeds: 20 km/hr in town, 35 km/h on restricted roads, 50 km/h in suburbs,65 km/h on Ring road, 76 km/h on Motorway. The chosen routes favor time over milage. These figures are pessimistic since they ignorespecific set-ups (Olympic lanes, traffic regulation) that will be displayed during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
