Regarding Fair Applications

Dear Member,

With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, due to the earthquakes centred in Kahramanmaraş which caused destruction in 10 of our provinces, our Union has taken certain decisions facilitating the procedures for fair cancellations and changes, and for applications to add fairs cancelled in this context to the calendar, covering the fairs included in the Calendar to be held between 06 February - 31 May 2023, in order to minimise the adverse effects that may arise in the sector. Accordingly; 

 1. For applications for earthquake force majeure date changes and cancellations concerning fairs included in the 2023 Fair Calendar to be held in the 10 provinces where a state of emergency has been declared (Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Gaziantep, Kilis, Osmaniye, Malatya, Adıyaman, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa and Adana);

a. That applications be taken into consideration even if the period set out in paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Procedures and Principles on Organising Fairs in Türkiye (Procedures and Principles) is not complied with,

b. That they be evaluated by suspending the provision in paragraph 2 of Article 17 of the Procedures and Principles,

c. That cancellation applications to be made under paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Procedures and Principles be accepted by a petition written on company letterhead and signed by the company representative,
