    INTERNATIONAL WATER SKI FEDERATION Region Europe, Africa and Middle East (EAME) FÉDÉRATION INTERNATIONALE DE SKI NAUTIQUE Région Europe, Afrique et Moyen Orient Minutes of the Region EAME Congress 29th of January, 2005 Monte Carlo, Monaco 1. Welcome by the President of Region EAME The President, Franz Kuhn, welcomes the delegates, the Administrative Committee, the Council and Commission members and especially the Honorary Members to the 2005 Congress in Monaco. He hopes to keep seeing smiles on all faces today and gives a special welcome to Kuno Ritschard, President of the IWSF. He also welcomes Alain Amade, the IWSF Vice President and the IWSF media officers, Des Burke-Kennedy and Jean-Claude Durousseaud. He also gives a very warm welcome to our friend and long time President Aubrey Sheena. Franz Kuhn thanks the French Federation for organising this Congress. It is unfortunate that there were some difficulties with the technical arrangements in this hotel, and he thinks the hotel management has to learn what a congress is about as they seem to have no technical staff. Alain Amade apologizes about the space problem that has been solved now. He explains that Prince Albert would have joined us: he was asked two years ago about the date, but then one month ago he said he could not come because he had to go to an important meeting in Davos. He will be back on Sunday night, but unfortunately everyone will be gone then. Franz Kuhn, Kuno Ritschard and Alain Amade were invited to join him at the Monaco - Paris-Saint Germain football match, but Franz Kuhn cannot join them.
