Q 10.8 World Anti-Doping Agency and UNESCO Convention agreements The Hungarian Government ratified the Copenhagen Declaration on Anti-Doping in Sports by adopting the Government Decree 2254/2003./X.15./Korm on the signing and promulgation of the Declaration on the banning of performance-enhancing drugs for sportsmen, accepted at the conference of the World Anti-Doping Agency (Copenhagen, 3-5 March 2003). In Hungary, as a signatory state, the Copenhagen Declaration came into force on 15 October 2003. The Hungarian Parliament signed up to the World Anti-Doping Code by adopting Act I of 2004 on Sport as of 22 December 2004. The UNESCO International Convention Against Doping in Sport was ratified by the Hungarian Government on the 8th May 2007 by adopting the Government Decree 99/2007.(V.8.). Therefore, the named Anti-Doping Convention has been in effect with binding force in the territory of the Hungarian Republic since 08 May 2007.

Q 10.9 Anti-Doping legislation in Hungary As of 29 January 1990 the Hungarian Republic signed the Council of Europe Anti-Doping Convention created on the 16th November 1989. The Convention was entered into on the 1st March 1990. Hungary intended to undertake, with a view to the reduction and eventual elimination of doping in sport within the limits of its respective constitutional provisions, to take the steps necessary to apply the provisions of this Convention due to the fact that sport should play an important role in the protection of health, in moral and physical education and in promoting international understanding. This came into force on 1st January 2003 by the Act LXXVIII of 2003 on the Anti-Doping Convention. The above Convention was amended on the 12th September 2002 in Warsaw. The amendment was entered into on the 18th May 2007 by the Hungarian Parliament by adopting the Act XXXIV of 2007 on Additional Protocol To The Anti-Doping Convention. Hungary intended to increase the effectiveness of anti-doping controls by contributing to the harmonisation, the transparency and the efficiency of existing and future bilateral or multilateral doping agreements reached in this area and by providing the necessary authority for such controls in the absence of any agreement on the matter. The Act I of 2004 on Sport, Paragraph 4, Articles (1)-(3) requires athletes to refrain from the use, application and trafficking of forbidden performance enhancing materials and methods. This law requires the athletes to undergo anti-doping control carried out by the relevant anti-doping authorities. Also, this paragraph empowers the Hungarian Government to determine the procedure of anti-doping controls in conformity with the WADA 12

THEME 10: MEDICAL SERVICES AND DOPING CONTROL Code and IOC Anti-Doping Regulations (See: Government Decree 55/2004.(III.31.)Korm). The Government Decree 55/2004.(III.31.)Korm. determines the regulations of antidoping activities in the territory of the Hungarian Republic based on the empowerment given to the Hungarian Government by the Act I of 2004 on Sport Paragraph 79. § Article (1). The Government Decree is in complete harmony with the WADA Code and IOC Anti-Doping Regulations. The present Government Decree establishes the National Anti-Doping Agency in the Hungarian Republic and determines its procedure. THEME

The Bidding Committee and the Hungarian National Olympic Committee confirms that the World Anti-Doping Code and IOC Anti-Doping Rules will apply for the Youth Olympic Games in 2010.

Q 10.11 WADA-accredited anti-doping laboratory For many decades a non-WADA accredited anti-doping laboratory was run by the National Institute of Sports and Medical Sciences publicly known as Sports Hospital in Budapest. This laboratory was privatised in July 2007. The new owner, WESSLING Hungary Ltd. is contractually obliged to receive WADA accreditation within a framework of 2 calendar years. WESSLING Hungary Ltd has already contacted WADA in order to initiate the accreditation procedure. Current planning indicates that by 2010 Hungary should have a WADA accredited anti-doping laboratory. In general the WADA accredited anti-doping laboratory in Vienna has been used by Hungarian sport entities and will be used until the Budapest Anti-Doping Laboratory receives WADA accreditation.

THEME 11: SECURITY The city of Debrecen will utilise its immense experience in the organisation of major sporting events in the city to ensure a calm, peaceful and safe environment for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010.

Debrecen is an extremely active city in terms of organising major sporting events. There are only a few cities in the world that have organised 12 World and Continental Championships in a seven-year period. Each and every competition that Debrecen has organised has met all the national and international security requirements. In order to organise and hold sporting events with complete and untroubled security, a multilevel regulatory system has been developed by Hungarian lawmakers. According to Act XXXIV of 1994, in the immediate proximity of sporting events and on routes leading to the venues, the State Police is responsible to provide security. The basic rules and regulations pertaining to the organisation of sporting events on private property is governed by Act I of 2004 (Sports Act) and Governmental Regulation 54/2004 (III. 31) on the security of sporting events. Based on the regulations set forth in the second paragraph of the Sports Act, organising entities of sporting events can only be those persons or the employees of such companies who are subject to the regulations of a separate Act on personal, property and private investigative activities. Activities relating to personal and property security can only be carried out if the persons or companies are registered members of the Chamber of Personal and Property Security and also bear the licence to operate within the legal framework of Hungarian rules and regulations as allowed by the licence issued by the Police of Hungary. Regarding the necessary licences needed to carry out duties of personal and property security, their conditions and compliance requirements are set out in the 24/1998 (VI. 9.) regulation issued by the Ministry of Interior Matters. The security measures employed at all recent major sporting events have shared the following similar characteristics: firm and decisive action, efficiency and discretion. In 2006 the City of Debrecen organised a similar athletics event, the IAAF Road Running World Championships, where police officers and volunteers, working together, also secured the route for the runners. In 2002, following the successful organization of the 36th Gymnastics World Championships the senior executives and officials within the International Federation (FIG) congratulated the organisers on the excellent work that they had done, with particular regard to the level and discretion of security provided to the entire Gymnastics family.

Q 11.2 International Sporting Event Experience In the past few years Hungary has hosted several international events of differing scales of magnitude, but among them a number of important sporting competitions. These events have been conducted without any disruptions, acts of terrorism or disturbances. The border crossings have been uneventful and in accordance with existing international treaties. The city of Debrecen, as the seat of Hajdú-Bihar County and also as the second biggest urban centre in Hungary is fully prepared and equipped to offer the necessary secure infrastructure for the Youth Olympic Games and is fully capable of providing the athletes and spectators arriving to the Games with a secure and calm environment. The City of Debrecen has organised 12 World and Continental Championships. The IAAF World Youth Championships in Athletics was the biggest single event for the city with its 3000 accredited personnel, athletes and team officials arriving from 178 countries. The International Federations, the spectators, the representatives of national and international media spoke very highly of the impeccable organisation of the Championships and the security measures surrounding the event. Within the YOGOC, the Security Director and staff will coordinate the activities of the Civilian Security Forces, the Official Security Forces and other agencies. The following table identifies sporting events which have been held in Hungary in the past ten years:

THEME 12: ACCOMMODATION “The services guaranteed for the teams during our U23 European Championships were perfect, allowing them to produce their best results” Hansjörg Wirz – President, European Athletics Association (EAA), 2007

Q 12.5 Spectator accommodation plan during the Youth Olympic Games The Summer Youth Olympic Games provides a new and unique challenge for the planning of spectator accommodation. For this event the spectator contingent will be drawn from both traditional spectators and also the families of participating athletes. General spectator accommodation will be located in the cities of Debrecen and Hajdúszoboszló which will collectively provide in excess of 1,000 rooms rated between 2 to 3 stars. We must also assume that some of the athletes – between the ages of 14 and 18 – arriving to the Summer Youth Olympic Games will be accompanied by parents as well as designated team officials. In order to provide those parents with an increased sense of security and the ability to accompany their children, those parents who do not wish to book hotel accommodation or cannot afford lodgings of that level, can be housed with families who currently provide accommodation for the large student population of the city, thereby enabling those parents to accompany their children to the Games. In addition, the accommodation plan for spectators was prepared keeping in mind that spectators will attend sporting, cultural and recreational or entertainment events. Debrecen and its surroundings are well known in Hungary for wellness and spa-tourism. THEME The thermal and spa waters of Debrecen and Hajdúszoboszló have been well-known around the world for more than 100 years now. As a consequence, in Hajdúszoboszló the number of available hotel rooms (in addition to the number of rooms mentioned in the spectator plan above) is close to 10,000 rooms. These different forms of accommodation range on a wide scale from hotels and bed & breakfast to private accommodation, and youth hostels, satisfying a range of budget needs.

12

For completeness, it is worth noting that IOC personnel will be accommodated in Hotel Divinus (Map C, item number 42) a 5-star hotel currently under construction (which will be opened in March 2008), and Hotel Lycium 1 (Map C, item number 2) a 4-star hotel. The accommodation has various room sizes and suites, which together with its conference facilities and numerous restaurants will provide ideal surroundings and conditions for the IOC. The location of these hotels is considered excellent, as they are centrally located with good access to the heart of the historical district of Debrecen, a significant number of sporting and cultural venues are within walking distance. The Bidding Committee has already developed very close ties with the two main tourism and hospitality associations in the region: the Debrecen Tourism Association and the Hajdúszoboszló Hotel and Catering Association. These associations, working in close cooperation with the Bidding Committee / YOGOC will develop a joint “accommodation codex” containing all the fundamental principles (rates, booking conditions, forms of payment, guarantees, etc.) in connection with the accommodation to be used by the spectators of the Youth Olympic Games. The codex will be signed by all the participating hotels consistent with the guarantees provided as part of this bid phase. In order to streamline the booking process, the YOGOC will develop a web-based 23

THEME 12: ACCOMMODATION application (accessible through the official Youth Olympic Games website) enabling users to book rooms in any partner hotel (within the codex agreement).

Q 12.6 Links to public transport arrangements. The underlying principle of the spectator accommodation plan for the Youth Olympic Games is to have all spectators located in close proximity to the public transport system. All the towns that surround the regional centre of Debrecen are connected to Debrecen via a comprehensive rail and road network, the road network consists of both motorways and highways. Dedicated public bus and train shuttle services already operate 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. These services will be coordinated and adapted at Games time to minimise the travel times between venues. During Games time the dedicated bus lanes that are currently operational in the city will be converted to “Olympic” style lanes providing dedicated transport lanes for the Olympic Family bus and car services.

THEME 13: TRANSPORT “I can summarise Debrecen’s transport plan in four words:

Debrecen’s transport plan is simple, compact, connected, fast and green. Debrecen International Airport is less than 5 kms from the city centre. Special “Olympic Lanes” will move all Games traffic swiftly and efficiently around the city with 3,000 “Green Bikes” additionally available to all accredited visitors.

simple, fast and green.”

Q 13.1 Transport concept György Kiss, Director of Transport, Debrecen 2010 Bid Committee

Debrecen is in an exceptional situation regarding the organisation of the Summer Youth Olympic Games. It has its own international airport located within 5 kilometres from the centre of the city, and it is in direct connection to the capital city, Budapest, via the E60 motorway which crosses the whole of Europe. It takes a mere 90 minutes to reach Budapest on the motorway. Debrecen can also be reached via the M47 main road and the main road 35 from the south, via the main road 4 from the east (from the direction of Hajdúszoboszló) and from the north (from the direction of Nyíregyháza). All main roads are connected within Debrecen by a ring-road. The primary airport for point-to-point transfer is Debrecen International Airport, for all international arrivals and departures during the Games. Debrecen International Airport links the city to major regional hubs and European cities. In addition please see the letter of intent provided by Wizz Air attached with the guarantee required in Q 13.10. Budapest Ferihegy Airport (distance to Debrecen: 90 minutes) will be the secondary airport, whereas Nagyvárad Airport (distance to Debrecen: 60 minutes) could serve as a tertiary airport for the Games if required. Debrecen can also be reached via the roads (motorway) described above and Intercity rail links. The public transport system in Debrecen consists of 1 tram line, 3 trolley bus lines and 48 bus routes. Upgrade works are planned to roads and tram line no. 2 as indicated in THEME Table 13.2 these works have been planned and will go ahead despite the Games. The Public transport networks connect to all the competition venues, official hotels, village, and the MMC. For the two venues located on the outer perimeter of the city the Debrecen Transport Authority has plans to run scheduled services during Games time. The key to the efficient local movement of the accredited personnel and our overall transport plan lies in the short distances between the majority of venues. The major non competition venues being the Youth Olympic Village, the IOC Hotel, the Main Media Centre and 70% of all the Competition Venues are within 1500 metres of each other. Within this “cluster” of venues and within the adjacent recreational centre of Debrecen only accredited vehicles and mass public transport vehicles will be given access during the Games. This area will become a major pedestrian precinct since many venues are within easy walking distance of each other. Furthermore, with the introduction of the “Green Bike” program the venues can also be reached on dedicated bicycle-lanes within this area.

13

Four key methods of transport underpin the solution for the transportation infrastructure to this central precinct, being: • fixed-rail trams; • trolley buses; • hybrid trolley buses (with gas and electric motors); and, • modern buses. Each of the three bus methods are environmentally-friendly. 25

THEME 13: TRANSPORT By 2010 the construction of another fixed-rail tram system will be completed, and the construction of the road structure (Map B and Table 13.2) will also be completed. The vehicles used for accredited transportation will be dedicated for use during the Games. These vehicles will operate 24-7 on circular routes through the city and between the venues. The quantity of vehicles will be adjusted according to the needs of the Games, based on the starting and completion times of the events. The Debrecen Transport Authority has confirmed the use of the existing bus lanes as the designated “Olympic Lanes” for accredited vehicles.

Q 13.6 Main operational objectives in the management of transportation • • • •

• •

Every official venue should be reached from any other venue within 30 minutes The security of accredited transport will be maintained continuously by the traffic police under the authority and coordination of Debrecen Transport Authority The police will aid the traffic low, and provide security on the routes leading to the venues, hotels and the Youth Olympic Village Coordination of all transportation is the responsibility of the Debrecen Transport Authority. The Debrecen Transport Authority will maintain a 24-7 transport command centre in the city using CCTV and traffic cameras, they have the authority to synchronise the traffic lights according to the needs of the traffic and athlete and VIP vehicles Debrecen International Airport is the primary international airport for most arrivals There is a contingency bus and car pool for cases of emergency and unforeseen breakdowns 27

THEME 13: TRANSPORT • •

An LED-based (screen) traffic information system at key locations around the city will inform the public on congestion, traffic incidents and general traffic information Planning that the traffic flow of the Youth Olympic Games will not disrupt the normal daily operation and flow of regular traffic in Debrecen

Q 13.7 Implementation of the Games transport system The majority of accredited personnel will use the dedicated shuttle service travelling on the circular routes connecting the official hotels, the competition venues and the training venues. Between the two competition venues on the outer perimeter of the City there will be a direct shuttle service that will connect to and participate with the main circular shuttle routes for other venues. In case of team sports, the teams will be provided with dedicated buses between the Youth Olympic Village, the official training venues and the competition venues according to the official schedule. Buses on the circular routes will run operate continuously on the following schedule: •06. 00 – 24. 00 every 10 minutes •24. 00 – 06. 00 every hour By exception, accredited VIP constituents will be transported between venues using dedicated buses, minivans or personal vehicles.

Q 13.8 Transport measures Debrecen Transport Authority will establish a special operative group that will be responsible for the coordination and management of the Olympic traffic system to ensure good traffic flow, punctuality and reliability of all services. This special group will be located in the Transport Command Centre alongside the normal City operations management team to ensure complete coordination of all transport services. THEME The number of traffic police will be increased for Games-time to facilitate punctual and

13

smooth operation. The traffic lights at busy intersections will have their traffic lights synchronised and the flow of traffic will be aided by the increased presence of traffic police officers (under the supervision of Debrecen Transport Authority). As noted earlier, accredited vehicles will be able to use the special bus lanes in the city as “Olympic Lanes”.

Q 13.9 Ticketing and transport policies All accredited personnel will be able to use all public transport systems free of charge during the Games period. Ticketed spectators will be able to purchase special Gamestime transport passes at discounted prices, there will be daily and weekly passes available. These special passes will provide access to the entire transport network during the Games period.

Q 13.10 Games-time responsibilities The Debrecen Transport Command Centre will be controlled and operated by Zoldfeny Ltd, a company 100% owned by the Municipality of Debrecen. The Transport Command Centre and the Security Command Centre (operated by the State authorities) already operate in an environment of regular and close cooperation. This close cooperation will continue up to and during the Games period. 28

DEBRECEN Youth Olympic Games 2010 Candidature File Volume 2

THEME 14: TECHNOLOGY Debrecen will focus all its energy and efforts to stage the first edition of the Youth Olympic Games in 2010 that will lay the strongest possible foundations for the event to become the most important youth gathering in the world. Technology will not only support this project, it will be a crucial and innovative aspect in the organisation of the Games.

Introduction The contribution of the Hungarian television companies and of the leading participants of the IT and telecommunications market have always been an important factor in the success of the Hungarian sporting events. The companies use the most advanced technologies available and always work closely with the International Federation of the sport to provide world-class services. A world-class level of service will be assured at the Youth Olympic Games by the commitment of professionals. The first proof of this commitment was that the market leader Magyar Telekom Nyrt. (Hungarian Telekom Plc.), even before the application of Debrecen was lodged with the IOC, revealed its support in a Letter of Intent. Besides the Hungarian affiliated firm of the international Deutsche Telekom, two other Hungarian mobile providers, Pannon and Vodafone, wish to help the cause of the Debrecen Youth Olympic Games and as an alternative solution both the HTCC group and the GTS Datanet can assist with the unlimited fulfilment of all telecommunication needs. Debrecen, is one of Hungary’s best equipped IT and telecommunications cities. It can fulfil the IT and telecommunication requirements of the Youth Olympic Games without any major infrastructure developments and would assure the provision of the necessary high level IT, telecommunication and Internet services by creating new network connections and also broadening the already existing capacities.

Q 14.1 Regulatory Body The National Communications Authority, Hungary (NCAH) is an entity of public administration directed by the Government and supervised by the Minister of Economy and Transport. The legal status of the NCAH is defined in the Electronic Communications Act (Act 100 of 2003). The Authority is responsible to encourage and support the smooth and successful operation and development of the electronic communications, postal and IT markets. The Authority protects the interests of both service providers and users. Its duties are to establish and maintain fair and efficient competition and to supervise compliance by the service providers with the provisions of the law. The Authority participates in the activities of international organisations being connected with the electronic communications, post and informatics and establishes and maintains relations with regulatory authorities and organisations in and outside Europe. The Authority performs its duties as an independent organisation, in accordance with the provisions of the law and the decisions of Government. Its leading body is the Board 29

THEME

14

THEME 14: TECHNOLOGY of the National Communications Authority. The Authority is an independent central budgetary entity with its own budget and uses its own revenues to cover the costs incurred in relation with the performance of its duties.

Q 14.2 Existing Infrastructure and Technology Networks Magyar Telekom is the biggest telecommunication provider of Hungary. Magyar Telekom offers a wide range of cable, data transfer and value added services, and it is also the leading mobile and Internet provider within Hungary and will provide all IT and communications requirements to all competition and non-competition venues. The Magyar Telekom Group covers three business areas: mobile communications, services provided to business customers and cable services.

The backbone network of the City of Debrecen has been built by Magyar Telekom the HTCC Group and the GTS Datanet company over many years. These service providers are therefore capable of fulfilling the telecommunication connectivity needs with either the national or international networks. The local optical network system, created, maintained and operated by the city’s trust holding, offers a special situation. The already existing infrastructure is the result of the last three years investments and according to the plans it will double in size by 2010. The city network, by webbing the areas of the Nagyerdö and the downtown, connects all institutions, including all sport venues.

THEME 15: MEDIA OPERATIONS The innovative integration of both the broadcasting and media activities into one operation provides a truly fantastic opportunity for the youth of the world to experience the world of media and the impact on their everyday life.

Media services have always been the strength of the world sporting events organised in Debrecen. The City of Debrecen has earned the highest appreciation for the high quality of media services including information, accreditation, transportation services and the operation of the media centre from International Sports Federations including the IAAF, following the IAAF World Youth Athletics Championships in 2001, from the FIG following the World Gymnastics Championships in 2003, and again from the IAAF in 2006 on the occasion of the World Road Running Championships. An excellent cooperation has been developed between the members of the Press Commission, the volunteers in Debrecen, as well as Hungarian Television and the telecommunication service providers. This excellent relationship will be invaluable for the Games in 2010.
