In order to receive accreditation for the meetings it is necessary to fill in a form drafted by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. https://media-accreditation.pl2011.eu
TThe major purpose of the Accreditation System is to provide electronic registration for the participants of the Polish Presidency meetings held in Poland and printing of name tags that communicate with access control systems to be installed in the conference centres of Polish Presidency.

After registration and identity verification, the journalists will see within the accreditation system a list of meetings they can obtain accreditation at, accompanied by a button „get me accredited at this meeting”. By clicking on the button they can apply for participation at a given meeting. By clicking on the button they can apply for participation at a given meeting. To register it is necessary to provide personal data and upload a photo in .jpg format and to upload a scan of a certificate from the editor-in-chief.

As a rule, accreditations for a given meeting will be opened 4 weeks before the meeting starts and will be closed a week before it starts. The accreditation deadlines to be assigned for each meeting must be strictly observed.

The system will be available in two language versions: Polish and English – the latter being a default one for non-Polish media. Some items on meeting agenda will be accessible for all accredited media representatives (e.g. press conferences), while access to others will be limited for organisational reasons. Access to open parts of the meetings and to official family photo opportunity of the ministers will be granted only to a Host Broadcaster representative and to accredited pool photojournalists.

ATTENTION: accreditations at the meetings in Brussels and Luxembourg and at the European Council sessions will be granted under the existing rules of the Secretariat General of the Council of the European Union – a link to the accreditation form will be also available at the website www.pl2011.eu or directly at the website: http://www.consilium.europa.eu/
