As a result of the tragic events in the second task of this FAI
event, and after due consideration of all the information available, the CIVL
Bureau has decided, under its executive powers, and with the full support of the
FAI Executive Board, to suspend the certification of Competition Class
Paragliders, with immediate effect.

As a result, the organizers have decided that it is not possible to continue
with further tasks that meet the aims of World and Continental championships, as
set out in the FAI Sporting Code. The two tasks flown to date are both valid
under the rules and are therefore sufficient to meet the minimum requirements
set out in Section 7B.

The 12th FAI World Paragliding Championship is therefore considered to have been
validated.

The closing ceremony and prize-giving will be held tomorrow, Saturday, 8th July
at 1pm in the main square.
