Workshops that are related to the work of the Working Party on Civil Protection (PROCIV) are, without exception, organised during every Presidency. According to the experience of the EC, organisation costs in Brussels (accommodation costs, renting of a conference hall and other accompanying costs) would be higher than if the conference is held in RC. One should consider that the organisation of this workshop in Brussels would be a precedent, since they have so far always been organised in the MS holding the Presidency in the Council of the EU.
