On page 13, paragraph ‘3.14a Bilateral Agreements ’ is replaced by the following:

‘3.14a    Bilateral Agreements

It is strongly recommended that, at an early stage of the preparations, countries participating in the event should adopt a bilateral agreement with the host authorities setting out the arrangements for information exchange, deployment of visiting police delegations and other police cooperation matters in connection with the event. Such bilateral agreements can also include areas of governmental and judicial cooperation. A template for a bilateral agreement will be prepared. It will include the list of issues which should be considered and agreed between the two parties. The template will not be a model agreement but rather an aid to bilateral negotiation.’;

on page 15, second paragraph is replaced by the following:

‘Detailed guidance on this matter is set out in Council of Europe Standing Committee Recommendation Rec (2015) 1 on Safety, Security and Service at Football Matches and other Sports Events.’.
