2. SECURITY MEASURES / ACCESS TO THE SUMMIT
The Belgian federal police will establish a security cordon around the Justus Lipsius building (see www.polbru.be) and will deny access to anyone without an accreditation badge and identity document.
Access to the Justus Lipsius building will be through a dedicated security point located on the
corner of the JL building next to rond-point Schuman and on presentation of the nominative
accreditation badge and proof of identity. All participants will undergo a security check.
Please note that during official arrival and departure times of Heads of delegations, access to the Justus Lipsius may be more difficult or even temporarily closed. Media representatives are
therefore advised to arrive/depart outside of those hours.
3. AUDIOVISUAL - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For all the information related to audiovisual, read the second media advisory.

Parking spaces for satellite vehicles are foreseen on Place Jean Rey, behind the Justus Lipsius
building (please note that no satellite vehicles will be allowed around Schuman Square).
