Dear Sirs,

If your federation is going to select a number of athletes within the frame of their participation to the UCI 2005 BMX World Championships to be held in Paris, France, please take due note of this announcement.

Indeed, we would like to remind you that the importation of medicine on the French territory is subject to rules and strict legislation. Consequently, a great caution is essential.

As a National Federation, your responsibility is to seek information on applicable texts and take necessary measures. We strongly recommend that you contact the customs office or :

As per our information*:

· An athlete choosing to carry medicines on his own, a particular authorization is not necessary; however the athlete must be able to have justification such as medical prescription.
· The team doctor can transport an emergency kit without special authorization.
· HOWEVER, for all other medicine, the team doctor must establish a list and submit it to the French competent authorities for approbation.

We advise you to strictly respect our host country’s legislation. In advance we thank you for your precious collaboration.

Sincerely Yours,
