". The Olympic Games will be held on the territory of a Member State for the first time since the creation of the Schengen area and its integration into the Union framework. We have here a specific Community measure that sets out a system of derogation from the rules on the issue of visas for members of the Olympic family taking part in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. The aim of this Regulation is to facilitate the task of the Member State entrusted with organising the next Olympic Games – Greece – while enabling it to fulfil the commitments made under the Olympic Charter. Temporary derogations from certain provisions of the on visas are provided for; they are of limited scope, proportional, of a technical nature and fully justified by the exceptional character of the event. Members of the Olympic family who, because of their nationality, are subject to visa requirements will continue to be subject to those requirements. The intention is merely to facilitate the procedures for submitting applications and the form in which visas are issued (the Organising Committee will simply have to forward a list of participants to the services responsible for issuing visas in Greece). Neither is there any conflict with the basic principles or security rules of the Schengen area (the Greek authorities must check that all the requirements are fulfilled before a visa is issued)."@en1
