» How do I receive information about the EYMD?

All interested journalists have the chance to register as a journalist for the event. In case you are registered, you will receive all important information via e-mail. A press kit with facts and figures, background, programme, description of the European Youth Press and the European Parliament and the introduction of the organising team will be mailed to you in advance. Of course the press kit will be locally available too in a printed version.

» Do I have to register on the homepage?

Yes. Since the event takes place in the European Parliament, we need your registration to organise the press access card for you. You have to register with your personal details until Monday 13 October 2008. If you do not register, we cannot gurantee you the access to the European Parliament. In case you have a national press card anyway, you do not have to register on the homepage. Nevertheless it is recommended, because we can complement each other. You receive the most important information about the event in advance and can point out your focus for your report and we can arrange the fitting interview partners and workshop connections for you. If you come without registration, you will be more than welcome, but we cannot guarantee to establish and schedule the perfect connection to your interview partners.

» If I am not registered, can I come nevertheless?

If you are in posession of a national press card, you are more than welcome to come to the EYMD. We will register you on arrival and you will receive the press kit. If you are not having a national press card, you have to register until Monday 13 October 2008, because we need to arrange your access card to the European Parliament. In case you do not register in time, you cannot access the Parliament and take part in the event.

» How do I get in touch with interview partners?

In case you are registered, you will receive the programme and all information in advance. So you can perfectly plan and schedule your report. We will be in touch with you and figure out which MEP or speaker you want to interview.

You can always come to the info-point on the third floor of the European Parliament.

It is not intended that the journalists participate in the workshops. If you plan a report about a special workshop and want to attend nevertheless, you can always contact us and we will make things possible. It is recommended to inform us in advance.
