SANCO organises workshop on
timeshare in July 2006
The Health and Consumer
Protection Directorate-General
will hold a full-day
stakeholder workshop on the
revision of the timeshare
directive (94/47/EC) on July
19th 2006. The workshop will
take place at the Albert
Borschette conference centre in
Brussels. It will primarily aim
at hearing and collecting key
stakeholders views on the
current state of play in the
timeshare market, with a view
to identifying regulatory
needs, and improving market
outcomes for consumers and
businesses.
Interested parties are
invited to express their
interest in participating at
the conference
by noon on Monday, June 26th
2006, by sending an email
to
sanco-b2@ec.europa.eu.
Some funding is available for
covering travel expenses, and
interested individuals and
organisations interested in
obtaining such funding, are
invited to make the relevant
request in their expression of
interest in participating at
the workshop. Funding will be
in the form of ticket provision
for transportation to the
conference venue.
As the number of places is
limited, a selection of
participants will be made in
the interests of obtaining a
representative selection of
stakeholders. The full list of
participants will be published
on Friday, June 30th 2006.
