To the attention of European councillors and observers,

 

Four bids have been submitted to host ERC in 2016 (in the order of submission): Italy, Finland, Ukraine, Spain

 

I would like to thank all bidders. It is great to see high interest in hosting ERC.

 

Please study carefully the attached bids. Please also consult with your rogaining committees.

I will call a ranking vote on these bids on 1 December.

 

In selecting the host of the 13ERC2016 we shall follow guidelines similar to those as agreed in respect of awarding the WRC, in particular placing focus on the following key aspects:

-    Quality of the terrain to provide enjoyable, challenging and fair competition worthy of European championships;

-    Previous experience of the organizing team demonstrating the ability to ensure a high quality event.
