Applications for the International Title

Dear Member,

The first paragraph of Article 6, titled "International fair and the use of this title", of the Procedures and Principles on Organising Fairs in Türkiye contains the provision: "In order for a fair to be of an international nature and to be able to use the title "international", the fair must have been organised at least twice within the last five years by the same organiser under the same or a similar name or subject; furthermore, the number of direct or indirect (through representatives) foreign participants must reach at least fifteen per cent of the total number of participants, or the net square metre stand area allocated to foreign participants must reach at least ten per cent of the total, or the number of foreign visitors must reach at least two and a half per cent of the total number of visitors."

As you are aware, due to the adverse conditions caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, many planned fairs could not be held in 2020 and 2021. In this context, it has been decided that, where an application is made for the first time to use the international title for fairs held once every 2 years, such applications will be evaluated on the basis of a Sworn Financial Advisor report based on the data from the last 2 fairs held, without seeking the "within the last five years" criterion set out in the said article.

 This is submitted for your information.
