2. World feed (host broadcaster) during the G7 Summit
Due to security and spatial restrictions, the German public and private TV broadcasters have reached agreement on providing a world feed (host broadcaster) based on the “Berlin model” for all photo opportunities and press conferences during the G7 Summit. The world feed will be free of charge and copyright-free. Please contact the ZDF, the ARD Main Berlin Studio or the EBU for more information regarding modalities.
N.B.: The photo opportunities during the G7 Summit will be covered exclusively by means of the live TV broadcasting technology and staff of the Berlin model responsible for compiling the world feed in the security areas. No other TV broadcasting technology will be permitted.
The same applies to all photo opportunities at Schloss Elmau, in the Briefing Centre next to Schloss Elmau (press conference rooms), at Munich Airport and other photo opportunities during the G7 Summit.

3. Live stand-ups in the International Media Centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
The Press and Information Office of the Federal Government will be setting up a two-storey temporary structure for live stand-ups in the International Media Centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. TV broadcasters or agencies are asked to register their interest in a stand-up position in this area, citing the types of transmission vehicles they will be using (vehicle model, registration number, dimensions [height, width and length], weight and power requirement)
by Tuesday, 5 May 2015, 12:00 hrs at the latest.

N.B.: Due to spatial and static restrictions it will not be possible to assign own live stand-up positions to all those registering their interest. We recommend that you use the services of these providers who will be managing live stand-up positions using their own technology and who will lease airtime. These will be announced after 5 May 2015 together with contact details.
N.B.: Valid accreditation for the G7 Summit will be required in order to be able to use the live stand-up positions in the Media Centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The same goes for your interviewees.

5. Live stand-up positions by the Briefing Centre next to Schloss Elmau
Due to security, spatial and nature conservation restrictions, only an extremely limited number of live stand-up positions will be available by the Briefing Centre next to Schloss Elmau. It will not be possible to park other transmission vehicles on site.
Only a limited number of providers will therefore be permitted by the Briefing Centre in addition to the host broadcaster under the Berlin model. These providers will manage the stand-up positions with their live technology and will lease airtime to interested broadcasters. The names of these providers and their contact details will be announced after 5 May 2015.
N.B.: Use of these stand-up positions requires long-term planning and is very time-consuming (at least 2 to 3 hours lead time, depending on traffic perhaps more).
As well as valid accreditation for the G7 Summit you will also need an additional Special Pass “Aufsager Briefingcenter Elmau” (Stand-up Briefing Centre Elmau). These passes will be issued only temporarily. A security check will then be carried out in the International Media Centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. After that, you will be transported to the Briefing Centre by means of secured transportation provided by the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government only. Once the stand-up is finished, you will return to the International Media Centre in Garmisch-Partenkirchen by means of the secured transportation provided by the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government only. The Special Pass will then have to be returned.
Journalists will not be permitted to travel to Schloss Elmau independently by any other route.
6. Host broadcaster and live stand-up positions at Munich Airport
The photo opportunities during the arrival of the heads of state and government of the G7 countries at Munich Airport will be covered exclusively by the live TV broadcasting technology and staff of the Berlin model responsible for compiling the world feed in the security areas. No other TV broadcasting technology will be permitted for covering these photo opportunities.
However, a limited number of live stand-up positions will be available. TV broadcasters or agencies are asked to register their interest in a live stand-up position in this area, citing the types of transmission vehicles they will be using (vehicle model, registration number, dimensions [height, width and length], weight and power requirement.
