Attached you will find the first announcement about the European Senior Team Championship 2008 in Dresden / Germany.

The Turkish Chess Federation has offered to invite 4 arbiters from each continent to the World Youth Championship which will be held in Kemer – Antalya from 17 to 29 November 2007. The organizer will be in charge of full board and accommodation. European arbiters will be paid 500 € as a stipend. All federations being interested in sending an arbiter to Antalya should inform the ECU Secretarial by 1. August 2007. Thereafter the ECU President will decide upon the candidates who finally have to be approved by FIDE.
