A tentative timetable for the Conference session will be submitted to the Council for approval at its 137th session (28 September-2 October 2009).
The Council has recommended that, in conformity with precedent, observers from international non-governmental organizations be invited to attend an informal meeting in order that their views and suggestions on the activities and programmes of the Organization may be reported to the Conference. The exact timing of the informal meeting will be communicated closer to the opening of the Conference.

Participants requiring visas must obtain these from the Italian Consulate or competent Diplomatic Mission in their country before leaving for Rome. Visa applications must be submitted well in advance of departure, as up to three weeks may be required for an Italian visa to be issued. Exclusively those participants travelling from a country where there is no Italian Consulate or other competent Diplomatic Mission may obtain a visa on arrival in Rome, provided that they advise the Secretariat of the meeting of their full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, issue and expiry dates, flight number, date and hour of arrival and their full travel itinerary, which must not include any other Schengen country. This information must reach FAO at least three weeks before the arrival of participants to permit the Protocol Branch to request that a visa be issued at Rome airport. Participants failing to comply with the above will not be allowed to enter Italy by the Italian authorities. |
