I Introduction: motivation, concept and public opinion 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?

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.

I Introduction: motivation, concept and public opinion 2 / Concept a - Briefly describe your vision of the Olympic Games in your City/Region? b - Provide a map of your City/Region on which your project is superimposed thus giving

a complete visual overview of your project (Appendix 1 - Map A).

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.

I Introduction: motivation, concept and public opinion 3/ Public opinion a - 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.

events.

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:

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.

• 75% of Parisians, • 73% of the Ile-de-France population, • 67% of French people,

a - The French have a real passion for large sporting

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.

are in favour of hosting the Olympic Games in 2012.

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

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.

II Political support 4/ Government, NOC and City support a - 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.

a - Paris's bid for the organisation of the Games for the 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.

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.

On the regional level, the project is supported by the entire Ile-de-France Regional Council, chaired by Jean-Paul HUCHON.

II Political support 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?

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.

II Political support 6/ Legal aspects a - 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.

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 and promotion 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”.

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 worldwide by WADA.

f - France is a signatory of the European Council’s antidoping 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.

Furthermore, regional authorities are legally competent to contribute to the development of sport.

III Finance 7/ Candidature budget Should 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 I (Application) • Phase II (Candidature)

The CNOSF, the City of Paris, the Ile-de-France Region and the French Government have set up a governmentbased 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:

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.

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

Government contributions What financial commitments have you obtained from your national, regional or local government and City authorities?

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 funding of main and sports infrastructures required for the Games, which will constitute a long-term legacy (nonOCOG 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.

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.

III Finance 9/ OCOG revenue generating potential In addition to the financial contribution you will receive from the IOC, what other revenue do you expect to be able to generate?

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.

Expected OCOG revenues in USD* (not including IOC financial contribution) 450 360

150 35 Ticketing

Local sponsorship (including value in kind)

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.

Licences

Olympic Proceeds, Stamps and Lotteries

Transfer of goods and other (sales of services)

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.

Olympic Village 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.

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. 27

[See Appendix 5 – Chart III] A constantly improving, dense road network 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.

VI Transport infrastructure 16/ a - Which is the main international airport you intend to use for the Olympic Games?

State your reasons. b - Which other airports do you intend to use for the Olympic Games? State your reasons. c - For each airport you intend to use, please indicate capacity (number of runways, number of

gates, passenger terminal capacity), distance to the City centre and existing and planned public transport links to the City centre.

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.

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.

VI Transport infrastructure 18/ 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 oneoff 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.

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 smoothflowing 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.

• 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.

VII General conditions, logistics and experience 20/ Dates of the Olympic Games The Games of the XXX Olympiad shall be held within the following period: 15 July to 31 August 2012. State your proposed dates to host the Games of the XXX Olympiad? Specify your reasons.

• the dates are within the most suitable climatic period in the year for athletes's performances. (See question VII - 22),

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 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,

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,

• 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.

• the dates also allow the Paralympic Games to be organised within that same traditional summer holiday period,

La Rochelle

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.

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 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.

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).

The Vaires-sur-Marne venue, where the Rowing and Canoe-Kayak events will take place, also provides favourable meteorological conditions.

VII General conditions, logistics and experience 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? If so, at what stage of planning?

a - Paris and its region offer optimal environmental conditions 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 the ecological 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 Paralympic

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 nonpolluting means of travel.

d - France has a strict statutory framework which requires 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.

Games will have extremely positive impacts in terms of 49

VII General conditions, logistics and experience 24/ Experience What experience have you had in hosting international sports events and multi-sports events? Please list a maximum of ten major events over the last ten years, indicating dates.

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-deFrance 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.

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).

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.

Tennis: FFT French Open every year in May-June since 1928, at Roland Garros stadium.

Over the last ten years, Paris has successfully hosted the following events:

Table Tennis: ITTF World Championships, from 19 to 22 May, 2003, at Palais Ominsports de Paris Bercy.

Judo: IJF World Championships from October 9 to 12, 1997, at Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy.

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.

VII General conditions, logistics and experience 25/ Security a - 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?

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 to ensure 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. 53

* 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 ignore specific set-ups (Olympic lanes, traffic regulation) that will be displayed during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. ** Media hotels reference point (see map A). *** Journey on TGV.
