The objectives of the meeting are to review activities which the IAEA has carried out in the framework of the International Working Group on Gas-Cooled Reactors and to recommend a programme for 1995/1996. Dr. A. van Heek of the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation (ECN), Petten, the Netherlands, Fax: 0031 2246 3490, Tel: 0031 2246 4090 has informally expressed interest in hosting the meeting at ECN on 2 December 1994, on the occasion of the IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on Development Status of Modular High Temperature Reactors (HTRs) and their Future Role (28–29 November 1994) and the ECN Workshop on the Role of Modular HTRs in the Netherlands (30 November–1 December 1994).

About 20 persons from 13 countries and two international organizations are expected to attend. The Scientific Secretary of the meeting will be Mr. John Cleveland of the Division of Nuclear Power, IAEA.

I have the honour to enquire whether your government would wish to host the meeting in question, and if so, whether your Government would agree to make the following arrangements.

The Government of the Netherlands will accord to participants officially designated to attend the meeting in their official capacities, and to their spouses and relatives dependent on them, the privileges and immunities due to officials of the IAEA, and to their spouses and relatives dependent on them.

2. The Government will accord to officials and participants mentioned above every facility necessary for the performance of their function in connection with the meeting, including entering, remaining in and leaving the Netherlands. The Government will issue any necessary visas as expeditiously as possible and, where the legislation of the Netherlands permits, free of charge. Annex A contains the list of Member States and International Organizations to be invited to participate.

The IAEA will inform the Government promptly of all persons officially designated to attend the meeting. The IAEA will also advise such persons to apply for visas, if necessary, in good time before the opening date of the meeting, and the Host Government is expected to issue such visas promptly so as to allow participants to attend the meeting.

3. The Government will facilitate customs formalities for those persons on entering and leaving the Netherlands.

4. The Government will make available to the IAEA, without charge, and for the entire duration of the meeting, premises and facilities adequate and appropriate for the meeting, as listed in Annex B.

5. The Government will exercise reasonable care to ensure security on the premises in which the meeting takes place and to ensure the safety of the officials of the IAEA and participants while on the premises of the meeting. The Government will take whatever steps may be reasonable in the circumstances to ensure such security and safety, including such supervision of the premises as may be warranted.

Should your Government wish to host the meeting in question, I would be grateful if you would inform me in writing of your Government's agreement on the above enumerated points as soon as possible so as to enable the Secretariat to proceed with timely arrangements.
