I. Motivation, Concept and Public Opinion

1. DATES OF THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES State your proposed dates to host the XXII Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014. If Jaca is chosen as the Host City for the Olympic Winter Games in 2014, the dates it would propose for their celebration are the two weeks between Friday 31 January (Opening Ceremony) and Sunday 16 February (Closing Ceremony). Competitions would begin 1 February 2014. The Paralympic Winter Games would take place two weeks after the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games, beginning on Friday 28 February and ending with the Closing Ceremony on Sunday 16 March. The reasons that Jaca considers this six-week period as the most appropriate to host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014 are the following: Technical Snow depth in all the Pyrenees resorts in Aragon is at its best in terms of quantity and quality during the months of January and February. Moreover, this month fits perfectly into Olympic tradition. Atmospheric The chosen period is the most suitable time in terms of climate, given that the coldest time in winter in the north of Aragon coincides with the month of January. Taking into account public attendance at the outdoor venues, the atmospheric conditions in February are excellent and are, moreover, the most suitable in terms of athletes obtaining their best physical performances.

February is considered to be a low hotel occupancy month in Zaragoza, which means that there will be a greater number of beds available to the Jaca 2014 Organising Committee and spectators. The first two weeks of February is the winter season period with the less number of skiers and snowboarders in the region’s mountain ski resorts, thereby guaranteeing a greater flow of traffic and travel movement. Sport The proposed dates will mean that the Olympic programme is compatible with international competitions, because the first two weeks of February do not have any major sporting events, especially European Champions League football matches. Cultural Another reason for holding the Olympics Games during this time is the fact that there are many resources and venues available, together with a proven ability in organising international sporting and cultural events, such as the International Folklore Festival or the European Youth Olympic Festival 2007 (EYOF). The event will allow Jaca and Zaragoza to develop innovative cultural events that are both historical and avant-garde in nature. Aragon will be faithful to Coubertin’s wish to promote Olympism as a “stable relationship between the Arts, Letters and Sport” (Coubertin, Pierre, “Le sport et l'intelligence”, Revue Mondiale, 15 November 1922).

Tourism Considering that higher hotel occupancy in mountain hotels coincides with the Christmas (December/January) and Easter (March/April) vacations, the chosen period is the most reasonable in terms of accommodation.

I. Motivation, Concept and Public Opinion

2. MOTIVATION a. What is your principal motivation for hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games? Sport Spain is the second most mountainous co u ntry in Europe, with over 40 top-class resorts and continuous growth in terms of the number of people practising snow sports. The Spanish Government, the Autonomous Governmentof Aragon and the Jaca City Council are developing an investment plan for snow and ice sports that aims to increase the practice of these sports. The creation of a High Performance Winter Sports Centre in Jaca, the hosting of the EYOF 2007 in Jaca or the recent creation of the awaited Spanish Ice Sports Federation, an independent federation managing snow s p o rts, are all decisions that demonstrate the commitment that Spain and Jaca have in reaching these objectives. The number of people practising these sports is growing yearly, and their interest in cu r re nt snow sports news is reflected in high TV audiences viewing figures. In Salt Lake City 2002, the number of viewers in Spain following our athletes reached levels that were similar to main Spanish League fo ot ball matches, co nfirming the passionate Olympic spirit with which the sport is l i ved in Spain. Culture With the creation and programming of the Cultural Olympiad, Mexico ’68 made an invaluable and lasting contribution to modern Olympism. Barcelona ’92 added a fo u r-year long Olympic Arts Festival. Jaca 2014 will also be innovative, with a commitment to a new participative constructivism, combining youth, sport and culture. Only a few people have the ability to establish a new s p o rts record or break current ones. Conscious of the fact that culture is the only record that has no limits, Jaca 2014 will propose a multicultural programme committed to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Sustainable Development for the Earth. …the only record that has no limits is the record of culture The area The Aragon Pyrenees is one of Europe’s most beautiful natural mountain environments. Jaca, which has a permanent relationship between its inhabitants and the Pyrenees mountains, uses its history as a reference point for progress and ecology as an instrument for action in protecting a valuable and unknown environment: the Pyrenees. Jaca is the relationship between the oldest traditions and the most modern initiatives, …the Pyrenees in their purest state The Romanesque, the indelible legacy of Islam and Mudéjar art and part of the World Heritage List today, belongs to the cultural legacy that Jaca wants to share with the world. Values Jaca is a faithful promoter of the Olympic Movement. The values of Olympism, peace, solidarity and fair play are also the values that fully correspond to the characteristics of the Aragonese people. A world without borders requires s p o rt without barriers and with a common language: fair play.

…close to nature, close to history, close to you b. What would be the impact and legacy for your city/region of hosting the Olympic Winter Games? Jaca has determinedly been pursuing the hosting of the Olympic Games for almost 20 years now. This wide-ranging knowledge characterises its aims and the current dimensions of its candidature. One of its main building blocks is being able to optimise the impact and legacy in the region for all the groups that are involved. Its viability will facilitate the general cohesion and participation that is required. ...in accordance with the efforts and resources invested The conceptual aspects guiding the project are: • To promote the organisation of sports and cultural events in the aim of creating skills and new abilities amongst the population, and especially young people, in a search for complementary wage sources; • To create new opportunities that will stop people moving to big cities; • To take advantage of the global planning synergies of the region so that any reform project can improve the mobility of people with reduced abilities and eliminate all barriers that impede access to different services, thereby making Jaca 2014 a model of real integration in snow and ice sports and one where all its services have been adapted to different disabilities; • To reconstruct a social balance as a priority in the region, making people the fo cus of any decisions concerning mobility and including sport. Therefore, our aim is to provide an essential balance of public transport, a new environmental concept, urban planning and new communication technologies. …improving the mobility of people with physical disabilities The project will leave behind an important social and economic legacy. Invest m e nts in transport infrastructures will be created in the Autonomous Community of Aragon and these will improve communication links, making them safer and thereby paving the way for the future. The economic growth and know-how implied by the Zaragoza International Exposition 2008 represent the model to be followed. The Jaca 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games have been thought of as a transcendental step for the modernisation of the region, thereby incorporating it quickly into the age of new communications and the most advanced technology. One of the most outstanding examples of an environmental legacy will be the jumping venue, to be located in an old mining area, which will involve regenerating the land so that it can be used for this spectacular sport. The establishment of this type of model for tourist development in nature hopes to create a new and unique form of coexistence in the Pyrenees area.

I. Motivation, Concept and Public Opinion

3. CONCEPT a. Briefly describe your concept of the Olympic Winter Games in your city/region. Our vision is deeply rooted in the original Olympic spirit that Olympism has always promoted: “Sport must be regarded as a producer of art and an occasion of art” (Coubertin, Pierre, “Le sport et l’intelligence”, Revue Mondiale, 15 September 1922). Our concept is based on the eurhythmics that Coubertin proposed as a harmony of abilities. This harmony between the cultural intangible and the tangible of the infrastructures needed is part of the Jaca 2014 candidature, developing a dual-sided concept of compact and manageable Olympic Games. ...harmony between the cultural intangible and the tangible of infrastructures On the one had, a methodological cultural model will be developed containing key elements to guarantee thoughtful and innovative results, backed by the necessary inspiration and participation of all groups and institutions. One that, in short, will act as a driving force of cultural cooperation with a view towards the Olympic horizon. On the other hand, the Jaca 2014 Olympic Games will be designed by and for athletes, with guaranteed postOlympic use of infrastructures and facilities. These will be developed in such a way that they will generate appropriately graded costs, allowing for manageable and compact Olympic Games, without affecting in the slightest the high quality and spectacular nature of the Games. ...designed by and for athletes First, the cultural concept aspects are suggestions along a road to fantasy, paraphrases of the imagination arising from contacts with diverse cultural realities, such as Romanesque, Islam and Mudéjar. Jaca 2014 proposes an Olympiad that will be cultural, avant-garde, perceptive and sensitive to the future, nonconformist and caring, all thanks to young people who are free of aesthetic canons and have a sporting and participative spirit. In short, a fresh proposal, with a new cultural aesthetic, combining technology and cultural traditions and avoiding the relative massification of current trends. Second, in order to celebrate manageable and compact Olympic Games, Jaca proposes joining them together with the city of Zaragoza, thereby guaranteeing one single main area together with highadded value in terms of services and a suitable financial cost.

Zaragoza also has world-class sports pavilions that can be used for the Olympic Games. Similarly, the city’s public transport system is currently undergoing major improvement works, as is the airport. Zaragoza’s Olympic Village will also be located beside the new trade fair pavilions. …manageable and compact Olympic Games Located in the heart of the Pyrenees, Jaca will have an Olympic Village that will serve all the mountain venues, as well as another press centre. It will also have an auxiliary Olympic Village for cross-country skiing and biathlon athletes located in Candanchú, in the same area in which their respective competition and training venues will be located. A flexible axis Zaragoza and Jaca are separated by a distance of 142 kilometres and one of the key aspects of our concept for the Games are the transport links between the two cities. By the time of the Games, there will be a dualcarriage, two-way motorway connecting the two cities. Sixty percent of it has already been completed and the remaining 40 percent is currently under construction. Similarly, Zaragoza and France will be connected by a high-speed train link, which will allow Olympic and Paralympic Family members and spectators to travel from Zaragoza to Jaca in less than 45 minutes. Both cities have high-capacity heliports, thereby guaranteeing the use of helicopters. Finally, 75% of the installations that will be used during the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games already exist or have been planned independent of the celebration of the Games. Additional installations will be built in accordance with local sports needs, with a guarantee of their post-Olympic use. This will ensure a very reasonable cost for the Olympic Games. The position of the different installations has been designed by taking into account protecting the surroundings in which they are located. These locations will more than satisfy the strict environmental rules and regulations in Spain and Europe. All the installations will be accessible by public transport; specifically, by a high-speed train network that will link the two cities and a network of regional trains and buses that will connect each and every competition and training venue. b. See Map A in the Annexes

Two clusters, one single axis Zaragoza will have most of the ice venues, the Olympic Stadium, an Olympic Village and the International Press Centre. Zaragoza is also the venue of the next International Exposition, in 2008. This means that the city has invested heavily in its infrastructures lately, and these facilities can be used for the Olympic Games, such as the new trade fair pavilions, where press facilities can be installed. The Zaragoza Ice Pavilion is the only venue that would need to be built.

I. Motivation, Concept and Public Opinion

4. PUBLIC OPINION a. What is the general public opinion in your city/region and country towards your project of hosting the Olympic Winter Games? The Aragonese, in general, and the inhabitants of Jaca and Zaragoza, in particular, support the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in the city of Jaca in 2014. Their enthusiasm is absolute, as it is every time a major project with the dimensions of an Olympic candidature is begun in Spain. It is something that we have become accustomed with fans and followers of sport in Spain. Knowledge of the project is widespread and the participation of the inhabitants of the cities in question was extremely high in all the events that took place before the project’s organisation. Jaca 2014 checked the response of its inhabitants to its Olympic project with an opinion survey that took place not only in Jaca, the origin of the project, but also in Zaragoza and Huesca, the setting for the ice competitions, as well as in mountain ski resorts. A research company carried out the study between 1 and 13 January 2006, in the aim of evaluating the level of acceptance of the project. The following questions were asked: • Did you know that Jaca has presented its candidature to host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014?

The people of Aragon and Jaca believe that the best legacy the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will leave behind in Aragon is the economic development of the area, the promotion of mountain and snow tourism, an improvement in general and sports infrastructures and their adaptation to improve the mobility of people with physical disabilities. According to most of the people who were questioned, Jaca 2014 would, above all, entail major economic growth due to investment in equipment, infrastructures and new job opportunities that would be stable in the mid-term. b. What opposition is there to your project? Until now, there has been no opposition to the project of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in the city of Jaca in 2014. This is proven by the survey result and the consensus expressed by the series of political groups represented by the Jaca and Zaragoza City Councils, the Government of Aragon and the Spanish Government. Alongside the support of all the institutions officially represented in Jaca 2014, all social groups, with the business sector and unions leading the forefront, have announced their intentions to support the Olympic project. The only exception is the Chunta Aragonesista party, which has expressed its opposition in the Jaca City Council.

• Would you like Jaca to be chosen as the host city of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014? The study was carried out by the firm of Chi-Cuadrado and 450 valid questionnaires were received from a total of 500, from people who were randomly chosen and with numbers in terms of sex and ages proportional to the total population census. The surveys were carried out in Zaragoza, Jaca, Huesca, Sabiñánigo, Sallent de Gállego and Canfranc. The results of the survey were extraordinarily positive, with three out of four people confirming that they knew of the project and some 91.4% of Aragonese expressing their support for organising the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca in 2014. The survey carried out by Jaca 2014 is a key element in the candidature process and it has allowed us to discover the opinion of our citizens about the Olympic project and, at the same time, reinforce the support and confidence that Jaca 2014 has from athletes, government institutions, the media, sponsors, future volunteers and sports directors, etc. All these groups support and want to be part of the Olympic project.

6. BID COMMITTEE Should you be accepted as a Candidate City to host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, how would your Bid Committee be structured and composed? The city of Jaca and the Spanish Olympic Committee have presented the Jaca Bid for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014. Should Jaca be accepted as a Candidate City to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the following institutions and people would comprise its Bid Committee: Jaca City Council, Zaragoza City Council, Huesca City Council, Spanish Olympic Committee, Spanish Paralympic Committee, Spanish Government, Regional Government of Aragon, Provincial Government of Huesca, Spanish members of the International Olympic Committee and other institutions and organisations representing Aragonese society and also Spanish society. The Jaca 2014 Foundation has been established to articulate the Jaca 2014 bid, and its aims are to prepare, promote and disseminate Jaca’s bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014. The Foundation comprises representatives of the aforementioned institutions and organisations, as well as members of society and renowned Olympic athletes, all of whom, each and every one, will work towards guaranteeing that the bid is carried out successfully. The body that governs, represents and administers the Foundation is the Foundation Trust, headed by the Mayor of Jaca. The Spanish members of the International Olympic Committee and representatives of the Spanish Olympic and Paralympic Committees also form part of the Foundation Trust. Should Jaca be accepted as a Candidate City, all the political groups comprising the Zaragoza and Jaca City Councils would be incorporated, as well as various employers’ organisations and union representatives. Jaca 2014: Tú puez fer-la

The Jaca 2014 Foundation has assumed all executive powers for the project via its managing director and staff of professionals, all of whom have wide-ranging experience in the organisation of national and international sports events. Their main tasks are to prepare a proposal for the geographic implantation of infrastructures and to prepare the Bid Dossier, as well as to maintain relationships with international, Spanish, Aragonese and sports federations. The Jaca 2014 Foundation’s executive structure covers the following areas: general management, sports and venue management, communication and marketing management, environmental management, financial and legal management, international relations management, human resources and volunteers management, and computer and technology systems management. The fact that the respective management bodies of the Jaca 2014 Foundation consists of representatives from all levels of society and Olympic and Paralympic sport shows the extraordinary unity revolving around the project. The Jaca 2014 Foundation is built upon the principals of transparency and the integration of all the social groups involved in the bid project. The structure of the Bid Committee would be completed by three committees: • A technical sports committee comprising representatives from Spanish Olympic and Paralympic committees, national federations, the owners of the competition and training venues – including ski resorts – the president of the athletes’ committee and representatives from the environmental departments of government administrations. The committee would act as an advisory body in the selection of competition and training venues and Olympic programme sports, playing the essential role of interlocutor with visiting international federations, as well as handling other technical matters related to Olympic and Paralympic sports; • An Olympic athletes’ committee formed by athletes with Olympic experience in winter sports. This committee will advise on the bid in such very relevant aspects as the Olympic Village and it will be responsible for spreading the Olympic spirit, especially amongst young people; • And an environmental committee that will be assigned to ensure compliance with the environmental criteria of the International Olympic Committee and international federations.

7. LEGAL ASPECTS a. What are the legal obstacles to the organisation of the Olympic Winter Games in your country?

e. What are the laws, or other means, in your country that combat doping in sport?

No legal obstacle exists for the organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Spain. Current legislation allows for its organisation, respecting the Olympic Charter and the International Olympic Committee’s Code of Ethics in all their aspects.

Currently, there is Spain’s Sports Law 10/1990 and the National Anti-Doping Committee, which accepted and signed WADA’s Anti-Doping Code in June 2005. Encompassing the control of banned substances and methods in sport, safety in sporting practises and further development procedures, Chapter VIII of the Sports Law refers to the following areas:

b. Do you envisage the implementation of any new laws to facilitate the organisation of the Olympic Winter Games? At this moment, a legal consultation process has begun to send to the Spanish parliament a draft bill for a Constitutional Law for the Protection of Health and the Fight Against Doping in Sport. Once it is passed by parliament, it will become a part of Spanish law in the fight against doping in sport. This draft project is based on the world code signed by the World AntiDoping Agency and approved during the UNESCO AntiDoping Convention in Paris on 19 October 2005. Spain’s legislative framework also allows for the possibility of developing new laws in the aim of facilitating the organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as has occurred in the past with the celebration of other international events in Spain. c. Does legislation in your country require you to carry out a referendum for a project of this nature? Spanish legislation does not require a referendum to be held for projects such as the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. d. What are the existing laws in your country that relate to sport? There have been wide-ranging legal developments concerning sport in Spain encompassing different aspects in this field. Spain’s basic national regulation is the Sports Law 10/1990, dated 15 October, which includes various rules and regulations governing the following areas: • Spanish sports federations • Discipline in sport • Top-class athletes • Doping, including the Anti-Doping Code • International sports activities and events • Compulsory sports insurance • Public limited sports companies • Violence in sports events ...wide-ranging legal aspects

• Infringements and sanctions to suppress doping • The National Anti-Doping Committee • General rules for the carrying out of anti-doping controls • Prohibited substances and pharmacological groupings and non-standard methods related to doping in sport However, a more wide-ranging law is being developed at the moment and this will put into practise the World Anti-Doping Code, making the fight against doping in sport more efficient and always in accordance with international norms. There are two laboratories in Spain that have been officially approved by the International Olympic Committee (one in Barcelona and the other in Madrid). They are dedicated to carrying out anti-doping controls and both have consistently maintained their qualification rating. Should Jaca be chosen as the Host City of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a complete anti-doping laboratory unit will be installed in the city of Zaragoza and this will be functionally dependent on an IOC reference laboratory. ...always in accordance with international norms f. Have the relevant authorities in your country signed an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)? The Spanish government has participated by funding the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since its creation. Moreover, WADA has recently approved of Madrid hosting the organisation’s next World Conference on Doping in Sport, in 2007. Does your country currently apply an anti-doping code? Spain’s National Anti-Doping Committee, approved by Royal Decree 1313/1997, is responsible for proposing preventative actions in the fight against doping. In 2005, the Spanish government accepted to observe the norms in the fight against doping in sport exactly as they appeared in the World Anti-Doping Agency Code.

8. BID BUDGETS Should you be accepted as a Candidate City to host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, describe how and by whom your candidature will be financed. What is your budget for: • Phase I (Application) • Phase II (Candidature) The Jaca 2014 budget is aimed at co m p l etely fulfilling all its objectives. These can be summarised by the need to promote and develop all the necessary activities so that the city of Jaca can present its ca n d i d a tu re for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 20 1 4.

Phase I (Applicant City and Application) Phase II (Candidate City) Total

The Government of Aragon, the government body behind the bid, has guaranteed to finance the project throughout the candidature process via a subsidy plan from its Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. The Government of Aragon and the Jaca and Zaragoza City Councils will also guarantee any deficit that may arise in the Jaca 2014 Foundation. The revenue chapter of the bid is completed by a sponsorship plan that involves the participation of prestigiously renowned local and national companies. Costs Budget (in millions of dollars):

Millions USD 1.3 10.7 12

In the budget for Phase II, money has been set aside to cover actions of an environmental nature in the bid’s mountain areas and of a cultural nature in its cities. This would leave behind an environmental and cultural legacy for the area.

9. OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES BUDGET a. How will your Olympic Winter Games budget be structured? The budget of the Organising Committee (OCOG), excluding revenue from the International Olympic Committee, will be financed by a formula combining public and private participation in a proportion of approximately 15% public and 85% private and based on the principle of a balanced budget. The infrastructure budget, or the non-OCOG budget, will be totally financed by government administrations, and this will represent part of the Olympic legacy for the region of Aragon and the whole of Spain.

In the event that Jaca is chosen to be the Host City of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014, the Spanish Government, via a Council of Ministers’ agreement dated 23 December 2005; the Regional Government of Aragon, via a Government Council agreement dated 24 January 2006; the Diputación Provincial de Huesca, via a government agreement dated 13 January 2006, and the Plenary Sessions of the Jaca and Zaragoza City Councils, via their Government Committee agreements dated 13 and 27 January 2006, respectively, will make possible the holding of said Games by committing themselves, within their fields of jurisdiction and without any costs for the Organising Committee, to the following measures, amongst others:

...Jaca guarantees very reasonable costs b. What financial commitments have you obtained from your national, regional and/or local government and city authorities? The Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014 will be a non-profit organisation. Funding of this Organising Committee will be based on a combination of public and private funding, while financing of all the Olympic and Paralympic Games infrastructures will be mainly based on public funding and the financing of operational actions on private funding.

• Form part of and subsidise the Organising Committee; • Participate in and execute the future Security Plan for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, providing the material and human resources necessary; • Adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the duty-free import, use and export of any items required by the International Olympic Committee, international federations, national Olympic committees and their delegations, the media, sponsors and suppliers in order to comply with the relevant obligations for the celebration of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014; • Adopt, within the field of their jurisdictions, all the necessary measures to provide all the healthcare and emergency services for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games; • Transfer all the competition and non-competition venues whose ownership pertains to them and that are needed for the optimum preparation and realisation of test events and, if required, unfolding of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. These installations will be transferred totally free of advertising for the Olympic and Paralympic Games; • Make all the necessary investments in terms of competition and non-competition venues, transport infrastructures, accommodation and telecommunications; • Assume the possible deficit generated by the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games; • And adopt all the necessary measures in such a way as to ensure that the obligations accepted during the bidding process are in accordance with the Olympic Charter and contract with the Host City.

IV. Venues

11. COMPETITION VENUES The Jaca 2014 bid offers a series of high quality venues. Today, 75 percent of these installations have already been constructed or have been planned for construction and only three out of 12 venues need to be built should Jaca be chosen to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The city has used the best experts for the selection of the most suitable installations. Members of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Spanish Paralympic Committee, Spanish winter sport federations and renowned athletes have been consulted during this time until arriving at a definitive positioning of the competition installations, thereby allowing for a solid and compact Olympic and Paralympic project. ...only 3 venues need to be built In the aim of concentrating all the competition installations to the maximum, the Jaca 2014 project proposes an area for snow sports and another area for ice sports. Jaca and its surrounding Pyrenees area will be used for snow sports. This area includes the mountain ski resorts of the Aragon (Astún and Candanchú) and Tena (Formigal and Panticosa) valleys. The freestyle competitions will be held in Astún; the alpine skiing technical events, biathlon, cross country skiing and Nordic combined events will be held in Candanchú; the alpine skiing speed events in Formigal, and the snowboard, luge, bobsleigh and skeleton events in Panticosa. And Canfranc-Estación will host the ski jumping and Nordic combined events. The Jaca bid proposes holding the ski jumping competitions at night, because Jaca has all the necessary measures to light the venue. This option would mean that higher audience numbers would be achieved in America. ...obtain higher TV audience numbers Speed skating will also be held in the area of the Pyrenees, in Jaca’s High Performance Winter Sport Centre (CAR), and the preliminary ice hockey competitions will take place in Jaca and Huesca. The competition in Jaca will be held in the city’s new Ice Hockey Pavilion, which will be opened for the EYOF 2007, while the already existing Sports Palace will be used in Huesca.

Zaragoza will be the venue of practically all the ice sports and it will also have an Olympic Village for athletes. Taking advantage of the new installations and infrastructures planned for the International Exposition in 2008, the Aragonese capital offers the greatest guarantees for the best celebration of these competitions, with only one installation needing to be built, the Zaragoza Ice Pavilion, a temporary venue. This will have an undoubtedly positive effect on our budget. Only temporary changes will be needed to stage the curling (Sports Palace), short-track speed skating (Príncipe Felipe Pavilion) and figure skating (Príncipe Felipe Pavilion) competitions. The Opening and Closing Ceremonies will be held in the La Romareda Stadium, located in the centre of Zaragoza. All the venues will guarantee the essential concepts as considered to be essential by the Olympic Games Study Commission for the correct organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games: • Maximum venue concentration • Proximity to the Olympic Village • Connection possibilities with the public transport system • Respect for environmental conditions • Use of sports facilities that already exist • Search for temporary solutions where necessary They also respond to the requirements of international federations and the International Olympic and Paralympic Committees: • Harmoniously located in the environment and community to which they belong • A sufficient number of seats available in accordance with the criteria of international federations and the International Olympic Committee • Accessible to all disabled athletes participating in the Paralympic Games • Guaranteed post-Olympic use as much for sports events as for cultural or any others events See Chart 1 in Annexes

13. NON-COMPETITION VENUES A. OLYMPIC VILLAGE a. Describe your concept for the Olympic villages, as well as your plans for their post-Olympic use. The project for the Jaca 2014 Olympic Villages has been designed to provide the best conditions for athletes and officials. The project’s Olympic Villages and additional infrastructures will form part of the Olympiclegacy within an urban model, comprising a major urban operation based on ecological urban sustainability and energy efficient principles, with special attention to i ntegrating each Olympic Village into the natural setting in which they are located. The three Olympic Villages are contained in the new urban planning development projects of each of the cities. The Zaragoza Olympic Village will be located beside the new trade fair pavilions cu r rently under construction for the International Exposition 2008. Located in the west of the city by the Ebro River, the Olympic Village will be less than five minutes from the AVE high-speed train station, l ess than 20 minutes from Zaragoza’s airport and next to Zaragoza’s new Ice Pavilion. It will be able to accommodate 1,600 athletes and officials. The Jaca Olympic Village will be located very close to the city centre in Levante Park, in the eastern pa rt of the city and next to the planned motorway that will connect Jaca with Huesca. Its location will facilitate the tra n s p o rtof all athletes and officials to the different competition venues in the mountain areas. It will be able to accommodate 2,200 athletes and officials in buildings that will comply with all the required quality and comfort standards. Together with its additional services, the Olympic Village will extend over an area of eight hectares. The Candanchú Olympic Village will be exclusively dedicated to athletes and officials of cross-country skiing and biathlon events. It is an auxiliary Olympic Village that will be located 100 metres from the competition and training venues of both these sports, thereby allowing athletes and officials to walk to their competition and training areas. At an altitude of 1,500 metres, the Olympic Village will have two buildings accommodating 800 people divided into one- and two-bedroom apartments. The Olympic Villages of Jaca y Candanchú will be used for the Paralympic Winter Games Jaca 2014 and they will have full accessibility features. b. Specify who will finance the construction of the Olympic villages. The Olympic Villages of Zaragoza and Jaca will be financed by public and private investment within the framework of an independent programming and management operation separate from the real estate market. The residential buildings will later be incorporated i nto both public and private housing programmes. The Olympic Village of Candanchú will be fully financed by public administrations because of the strict public legacy of these buildings.

c. Please indicate whether alternative accommodation is planned/required. Please describe the alternative accommodation you plan to use, if any. In the event that it is necessary, an alternative plan has been designed to accompany accommodation in hotel rooms (see Chapter 5) and Olympic Villages. This involves the use of university residences that are mainly in Zaragoza and military residences loca ted in the Aragon Pyrenees, comprising a large accommodation reserve. These military residences are for officials are equipped with the best modern installations and have single and double bedrooms. B. INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST CENTRE (IBC) / MAIN PRESS CENTRE (MPC) a. Describe your concept for the IBC and MPC, as well as your plans for their post-Olympic use. The International Press Centre will be located in the planned trade fair pavilions in Zaragoza that are cu r rently under construction for the International Exposition 2008. Designed to house international conferences and different activity trade fairs, the pavilions will have some truly spectacular dimensions to house the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) and the Main Press Centre (MPC), the two main areas comprising the International Press Centre. 60,000 m2 will be reserved for the activities required by media representatives, thereby guaranteeing ideal working conditions. The challenge for Jaca 2014 is its obligation to fulfil the needs of all journalists. The IBC and MPC will be in the same complex and this will allow for the shared use of some services, such as information gathering, catering, security, transport, etc. And these will be sufficiently separated so that each sector will be able to carry out their work without any problems. ...integrated into natural surroundings For journalists covering snow sports, a Main Press Centre (MPC) will be installed in Jaca’s Palacio de Congresos conference centre, which already exists. Jaca’s IBC will be located next to the Palacio de Congresos in a temporary installation, which will be dismantled once the Olympic and Paralympic Games have ended. The use of these two press centres once the Olympic and Paralympic Wi nter Games in Jaca have ended is fully guaranteed, because these installations will continue to be used for trade fairs and shows and national and international co nferences. b. Specify who will finance the construction of the IBC and MPC. Given that the owners of the installations that will house the planned IBC and MPC are municipal bodies, the required financing will be provided by the Zaragoza City Council, the main body behind the International Exposition 2008, and the Jaca City Council, owner of the Palacio de Congresos in the city. In terms of Jaca’s IBC, financing will be the responsibility of the public administrations involved in the project.

V. Accommodation

14. HOTELS a. State what point of reference you have chosen as the Olympic Winter Games centre in the Applicant City and explain why. Zaragoza, capital of the region of Aragon, and Jaca, one of the main cities in the Aragon Pyrenees, are the two reference points chosen. In our project, Zaragoza will be the main centre for ice sports and will be the venue city for the International Olympic Committee hotel. It will also have an Olympic Village, IBC and MPC and one of two Media Villages. Jaca is another obligatory reference point because it lies so close to the mountain ski resorts where the snow sports events will be held. b. Provide a statement from your national tourist board, giving the equivalent rating used in your country and a description of the standard of hotel in each category. The Huesca (Jaca) and Zaragoza Hotel Associations fully support the Jaca Bid for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014. Both organisations have therefore expressed their firm commitment to maintain a policy of reasonable prices in all the hotel establishments of the region, so that the Olympic and Paralympic Families will be able to benefit from their stay during Jaca 2104. The Aragon Tourist Board guarantee has been included as Annex 3 in the Guarantee Folder. c. See Charts 2 in the Annexes During the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014, the Olympic and Paralympic Families and all other visitors will be able to enjoy the outstanding services and traditional hospitality that both Spain and the region of Aragon offer millions of tourists who visit us. Tourism is one of Spain’s main industries and the mountain resorts in Aragon receive over one and a half million fans of snow and mountain activities each year. This shows the high level of experience that we have in welcoming and treating visitors, as well as the professional nature of those involved in the hotel and catering sector.

Single Double/twin Suite

Both the areas of Zaragoza and the mountains around Jaca guarantee this high level of professionalism, which all accredited people and spectators will discover when they come for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014. These two large areas currently have 16,364 hotel rooms, 11,000 of which are located in city centres or very close to sports installations (from 0 to 10 km). There are 9,292 hotel rooms in Zaragoza and within a 10-km radius from the city, while the areas of Jaca and the mountain resorts have 1,909 rooms. The opening of 1,577 hotel rooms has been planned for the future in 3-, 4- and 5-star hotels in Zaragoza, all of which will be in the city centre and are a result of the organisational needs of the International Exposition 2008. In Zaragoza’s surrounding area (10-50 km), the number of planned rooms for the future is approximately 400. The construction of various hotels and apartment has been planned in the area of Jaca and the mountains, with a forecast 1,376 new rooms. Some of these new hotels are already well under construction. ...guaranteeing a high level of professionalism To complete the demands of the International Olympic Committee, Jaca 2014 also has 3,379 rooms available in university residences and a large reserve of high quality military residences dedicated to officials. A Media Village has been planned for both Jaca and Zaragoza and these will be able to accommodate a total of 8,500 media representatives. The railway and road networks in the region of Aragon will allow for quick and comfortable transport links in the future between hotels and competition venues. d. Use the following table to indicate average convention rates in 2005 for 3, 4 and 5 * hotels and for all room types during the month of the Olympic Winter Games, including breakfast and all applicable taxes.

V. Accommodation

15. MEDIA ACCOMMODATION a. Describe your concept for the media villages, as well as your plans for their post-Olympic use. According to the city of Jaca’s concept for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, media representatives will have available to them two Media Villages: one in Zaragoza, the setting for most of the ice sports, and another in Jaca, the main city at the foot of the mountain resorts, where the snow sports events will be held. These Media Villages have been included in the new urban planning development projects of the cities of Zaragoza and Jaca. The Zaragoza Village will be located on land that lies very close to the Zaragoza International Exposition 2008 and it will have 5,000 rooms divided into 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments. ...all the criteria of quality and comfort The growth and development of the area chosen, which is a result of the planned investments for the Zaragoza International Exposition 2008, will mean that all people will be able to move around quickly thanks to a major transport network. Jaca 2014, on the other hand, will provide a safe and efficient transport network between its residences, the different competition areas and the International Press Centre.

The Jaca Media Village, with 3,500 rooms, will be located in the area of Llanos de la Victoria, on land located beside a planned motorway that will link Jaca with Pamplona and very close to the city centre. As in the case of Zaragoza, the Media Village will form part of Jaca 2014’s Olympic legacy, comprising of an ambitious urban planning development project that future generations will benefit from and one that is based on ecological principals of sustainable urban development and energy efficiency. In both cases, single-dwelling and group residential blocks will be built and these will not exceed a height of five floors. Like the Olympic Villages, the Media Villages will satisfy all the quality and comfort criteria of the International Olympic Committee. The apartments will have a maximum of two beds per room and all will comply with the accessibility and installation demands that take into account the special characteristics of the groups of people that will be accommodated during the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014. b. Specify who will finance the construction of any media villages. The Media Villages will be financed by investments from the public and private sectors within the framework of an independent programming and management operation separate from the real estate market. The residences of both Media Villages will be incorporated into both private and public purchase and rental accommodation programmes.

VI. Transport

16. TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE Zaragoza and Jaca are very well located cities with excellent transport connections and today could welcome the Olympic and Paralympic Families without any problems. Zaragoza and Jaca, the two centres proposed for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, are separated by a distance of 142 km. The remaining venues are less than 50 km from either of these two cities. Road access to all of Jaca’s Olympic and Paralympic Games venues is based on four major infrastructure areas being developed in Spain:

Railway transport will greatly facilitate access to Zaragoza, Jaca and the different venues of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014. It is a form of transport that respects the environment, is fast, can carry many people and is therefore very suitable for winter conditions. Currently, there is a high-speed rail link between Madrid, Zaragoza and Huesca and this line will be completed in 2007 with a further connection between Zaragoza and Barcelona. There are also plans to connect this high-speed rail line with France. ...an efficient, fast and safe transport system

1. The Barcelona-Zaragoza-Madrid link is formed by the A-2 main road (Barcelona-Lleida and ZaragozaMadrid) and the AP-2 motorway (ZaragozaBarcelona), both currently in service. This is one of the main Barcelona-Madrid transport links, allowing drivers to reach Zaragoza from Barcelona or Madrid in three hours.

The city of Zaragoza has a complete urban transport network that includes bus lines, a new light railway Metro line (north-south and east lines, which will be functioning in the years 2008 and 2010, respectively) and a large fleet of taxis, linking the city’s main spots and fulfilling the requirements of spectators and the Olympic and Paralympic Families.

2. The Valencia-Zaragoza-Jaca-Pau link is a fundamental connection link between the Mediterranean coast and Zaragoza or Jaca. It is a main road that can handle a high capacity of traffic and brings drivers rapidly from Zaragoza to Jaca, passing through Huesca and Sabiñánigo. Currently, 60% of the main road between Zaragoza and Jaca has been completed and the remaining 40% has already been approved at the project stage.

Also under construction is a new AVE high-speed train station in the south of Zaragoza, the Zaragoza-Plaza station, which will bring the high-speed train line to the city’s south, which is currently undergoing full urban expansion. The Zaragoza Logistics Platform and a direct link with the Zaragoza International Exposition area and the airport have also been planned. In order to complement the second AVE station, a light railway Metro line that will link the station and airport with the city centre is being considered at the moment.

3. The Pyrenees link (N-260 road) connects the foothills of the Pyrenees valley and begins at the French border town of Portbou, passing through Figueres, Puigcerdà, Castejón de Sos, Biescas and Sabiñánigo. This road will connect to the planned A23 main road, which will connect Jaca with Sabiñánigo and, as a consequence, the two valleys where all the mountain events will take place: the Aragon and Tena valleys.

The city of Jaca has a comprehensive city bus line network that guarantees comfortable and speedy travel to any point in the city. See Chart 3 in Annexes

4. The Lleida-Huesca-Jaca-Pamplona link forms part of the Tarragona-San Sebastián-Bilbao itinerary, which has been officially classified as a general interest network by the Spanish government. Currently, various sections of the main road between Huesca and Lleida are under construction, with a commitment to complete the works in 2010. Similarly, work to construct the Jaca-Pamplona section of the road has also begun.

17. AIRPORT a. Which is the main international airport you intend to use for the Olympic Winter Games? Jaca 2014 will use the Zaragoza International Airport as the main airport for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014. Because of its proximity, good transport connections, growth and comfort, the International Airport of Zaragoza guarantees the best conditions to efficiently manage the flow of the Olympic and Paralympic Families and spectators arriving for the Games. b. Which other airports do you intend to use for the Olympic Winter Games? The Jaca 2014 Bid proposes the International Airport of Monflorite (Huesca) as another main airport for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. At only 79 km from Jaca, the airport can handle international charter flights and is an excellent airport for delegations to send their snow sports athletes to the Games because of its proximity to Jaca and the mountain resorts. The Noáin-Pamplona Airport, at 112 km from Jaca and with a perfect road link via the future Jaca-Navarra main road, is also an excellent option for the arrival and departure of snow sports delegations. The international airports of Barcelona and Madrid will be support airports for the arrival and departure operations of delegations. Finally, Jaca 2014 will place at the disposal of accredited VIPs a helicopter service to access the competition and non-competition venues. Zaragoza, Jaca and all the ski resorts have heliports, which will be at the disposal of the Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014. c. For each airport you intend to use, please indicate capacity, distance to the city centre and existing, planned and additional public transport links to the city centre. Zaragoza International Airport The Zaragoza Airport is located at only 17 km from the city centre and Zaragoza’s Olympic Village. The airport has two landing runways, an aircraft parking apron measuring 100,000 m2 and can handle any type of aircraft. Currently, because of the celebration of the Zaragoza International Exposition 2008, a project plan is being drafted that will include major improvements. The terminal will double its current passenger capacity and will be extended by 50,000 m2.

Activity indicators Zaragoza Passengers in the year 2004 215,213 Operations in the year 2004 9,386 Runways 2 Gates 3

The road links from the airport to the city centre are excellent and the construction of a light railway Metro line has also been planned to connect the airport with the AVE train station in the centre of Zaragoza. A shuttle bus service will be put into place for the Olympic and Paralympic Families to take them from the airport to the Olympic Villages (Zaragoza, Jaca and Candanchú) with all the comfort and ease that this would imply. Monflorite International Airport (Huesca) The Monflorite International Airport is located at 7.5 km from Huesca and has a direct link with Zaragoza and Jaca via the N-330 main road. For the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014, it will also have a shuttle bus service connecting it with Jaca and Zaragoza. The Monflorite International Airport (Huesca) was officially declared to be of general interest in October 2002 and, since then, the Spanish airport and air navigation society (AENA) has been carrying out major works in its installations. These include a new 2,100metre runway, a 24,000-m2 aircraft parking apron, a 2,200-metre terminal building and a 1,500-metre multi-purpose building. The opening of the new airport is planned for the end of 2006. Pamplona-Noáin Airport The Pamplona-Noáin Airport is located at 6 km from the south of Pamplona and is connected with Zaragoza and Jaca by the N-240 main road. For the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014, it will have a shuttle bus service connecting it with Jaca and Zaragoza. Its surface area is approximately 125.5 hectares and it currently has a 2,207-metre landing runway. Madrid-Barajas International Airport Barajas Airport currently has four landing runways and 152 departure gates. From 2007 onwards, it will be handling up to approximately 70 million passengers per year. The airport will also have a high-speed train station that will connect it with Zaragoza, Huesca and Jaca. Barcelona International Airport Barcelona Airport is Spain’s second most important airport and, like Madrid, is currently undergoing an expansion plan that will improve its installations. Located in the town of El Prat de Llobregat, the airport will have a high-speed train station in 2007 that will directly connect it with Zaragoza, Huesca and Jaca.

19. TRANSPORT CHALLENGES What current and future (2014) major transport challenges do your city and region face? What general transport and mobility concepts do you propose in order to address: • Olympic constituents’ transport needs, in particular athlete and media transport? • Olympic spectator, workforce and volunteer mobility demands? Jaca 2014 proposes a compact, maximum concentration model for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, one in which all venues and installations are at the reach of Olympic and Paralympic Families and spectators in a very short time. Our concept has been designed to ensure an efficient, quick and safe transport system between all the Olympic Games areas, such as the Olympic Villages, airports, IBC and MPC, competition and training venues and hotels accommodating the Olympic and Paralympic Families. The main challenge facing the Governments of Spain and Aragon has been to achieve a balance between the planning and construction of new infrastructures and maintaining a model that is sustainable, modern and respects the environment. By taking into account this balance, substantial changes have been planned for the road infrastructures in the region: • The new section of the Nueno to Jaca A-23 main road will be completed in 2012, which means that the time taken to travel between Zaragoza and Jaca by road will be guaranteed as approximately one hour. • The Jaca-Navarra main road will be completed in 2012, thereby guaranteeing a link with the NoáinPamplona Airport. • Spain’s Public Works Ministry is currently studying modernisation works for the Aragon valley N-330 road. These will include improving certain sections and curves of the road and converting it into a ring road around the towns of Canfranc, Villanúa and Castiello de Jaca. This will make access to the competition venues easy, safe and perfectly adapted to the requirements of the Olympic and Paralympic Families and spectators. • In terms of access to the Tena valley by the A-136 road, various projects are currently underway that will extend and improve various sections, curves and tunnels on the road, allowing for safe and comfortable travel to the Panticosa and Formigal mountain resorts. All these projects respect EU environmental requirements to protect fully the surroundings.

• The city of Zaragoza is currently undergoing a remodelling process of its transport infrastructures to adapt them to the needs of the International Exposition 2008 in the city. Zaragoza currently has three ring roads in service and a fourth, the Z-40, is functional in the south of the city and under construction in its east section (Ronda Este), work on which will end in 2008. The city will also have an entry road in the north completed by 2008 and this will be a continuation of the Ronda Este. In terms of the railway network, the completion of the AVE high-speed train link connecting Madrid and Barcelona with Zaragoza and Huesca is planned for 2007. There are also plans in the Infrastructure and Transport Strategic Plan (PEIT) of Spain’s Public Works Ministry for a high-speed connection between Spain and France from Huesca. ...fully preserving the environment The Public Works Ministry is also currently carrying out work on the existing train line between Huesca, Jaca and Canfranc for the Huesca deviation, which will be finished in 2007. It is also finalising the infrastructure modernisation projects for the remaining sections of this line. These connections will ensure AVE high-speed train transport for the Olympic and Paralympic Families and spectators between Zaragoza and Jaca and between each of these cities and Madrid and Barcelona. Existing infrastructures in the region and those planned from now until 2010 will allow spectators to travel to the competition venues in public transport, mainly using the railway network and, later, surface and other means of transport to the different mountain venues (resort ski lifts). ...an Olympic lane on all the linking roads Jaca 2014 will provide shuttle bus services with origin and end points in Sabiñánigo, Jaca and Canfranc. These will continuously connect the mountain resorts with the valleys of Aragon and Tena. In Zaragoza, spectators will also have a bus service available to travel to all the competition and training venues. These shuttle bus services will be free of charge for media representatives, organisers, volunteers, other accredited Olympic and Paralympic persons and spectators with tickets for the competition events. There will also be a bus service for the Olympic and Paralympic Families between the Olympic Villages (Zaragoza, Jaca and Candanchú) and the competition, training and non-competition venues. Those delegations that opt for alternative accommodation will also have this service available to them. The buses will use an Olympic lane on all the roads linking the venues, including all the entry roads to the mountain venues.

VII. Security

21. RESOURCES AND CHAIN OF COMMAND a. Who will have ultimate responsibility for security during the Olympic Winter Games? Ultimate responsibility in the field of security rests with the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, which will coordinate the actions of state bodies involved in security through the use of security forces and services, such as the Ministries of Defence and Health and other autonomous and local authorities. An Olympic Security Committee will be created to plan, coordinate and direct the Jaca 2014 Security Plan, which will be designed to guarantee the normal unfolding of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2014. The Committee will be headed by Spain’s Secretary of State for Security, or a person designated by him/her. This person will direct and control all the security forces under the principal of one command authority.

Secretary of State for Security

Crisis Management Centre

International Cooperation Centre

Local and Regional Security

Intelligence Director

Olympic Security Committee

Internal Security: Olympic Venues

A command, control, coordination, communications and intelligence chain (C4I) dependent on this committee will be created and all the emergency services and institutions involved in the system of security will be represented within it. Three command levels will be established: 1. Security in Olympic installations and surrounding areas of influence. 2. Security in city venues: security of vital infrastructures. 3. Security of the country: analysis of threats and risk evaluation.

the Games. They will be supported by local police, private security forces and security volunteers. This contingent will be complemented by forces from the Ministry of Defence, which will provide the appropriate security to vital systems in the country, such as infrastructures, energy, water supply, etc. If necessary, units from the Ministry of Defence can complement these resources to complete the needs deriving from the security system plan. Moreover, a crisis management centre dependent on the main command centre will be set up in the aim of handling any emergencies that may arise. The collaboration of NATO and EUROPOL can also be requested if necessary, within the framework of international cooperation. Spain’s intelligence services will work together with their equivalent services abroad in the aim of collaborating to detect and prevent any threats, establishing an international cooperation centre that will coordinate the sharing of intelligence information and material. The human resources involved will be backed by proven and updated technological equipment and resources. c. Does legislation in your country permit an effective single management structure, whatever the provenance of the human and technical resources to be used? Spanish legislation permits an effective single management structure in which public and private bodies participate, following the model used for such events as the Barcelona Olympic Games, Seville Universal Exposition, Madrid Middle-East Peace Summit, International Monetary Fund Meeting and the European Union Environmental Summit. This structure will also be based on the one used for the European Basketball Championships in Madrid 2007, America’s Cup in Valencia 2007 and the Zaragoza International Exposition 2008. Would your government be willing to implement new laws in order to achieve an efficient structure and a security operation that is appropriate to the special circumstances of the Olympic Winter Games? The Jaca 2014 Bid has the backing of national and regional governments in Spain and therefore any legislation needed for the proper working of the security system for the Games can be implemented whenever necessary.

b. What security resources do you plan to provide for the Olympic Winter Games? Spain’s National Police Force and Civil Guard will comprise the main nucleus of the security forces for

VIII. General Conditions and Experience

22. POPULATION State the following current population, as well as estimated population in 2014: • City • Region • Country Jaca Jaca is one of the main cities in the Pyrenees mountain chain, located between interior ranges such as the Collarada massif and exterior ones like Oroel and San Juan de la Peña. An age-old city that exerts a decisive influence on the economy in the north of Aragon, Jaca currently has a population of 15,209 inhabitants. In accordance with forecasts, this number will rise to 16,400 inhabitants in 2014, if migratory movements and a rise in the childbirth rate registered in the last few years continue. ...open and friendly inhabitants Jaca is one of the most important cities in Aragon, one of the 17 autonomous communities making up the Kingdom of Spain. It is characterised by the open and friendly nature of its inhabitants, as well as their great sense of hospitality. Jaca’s economic growth is another one of its outstanding characteristics, with its main industry being winter sports and mountain tourism. Zaragoza The capital of Aragon is an international city that is strategically located halfway between the road connecting Madrid and Barcelona. Zaragoza currently has 897,350 inhabitants and the number of foreigners living there makes up 5% of this total, highlighted by a great number of people from Romania, China, Ecuador, Portugal, France and Italy. The importance of Zaragoza in the Spanish economy is growing spectacularly at the moment, while the city meticulously prepares itself to host the International Exposition 2008. This will be held between 14 June and 14 September in 2008 and will go by the name of the Zaragoza International Exposition 2008, based on the model recognised by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE).

Once this great event has ended, the population of Zaragoza will tend to remain constant at its current level, with forecasts of approximately 938,883 inhabitants by the year 2014. Aragon Aragon has three provinces: Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel, with the first two provinces backing the 2014 Olympic Bid. The city of Jaca can be found in the province of Huesca. Currently, there are 1,269,027 people living in Aragon, 70.7% of which are registered in its capital city, Zaragoza. Forecasts for the year 2014 place this figure at 1,397,012 inhabitants, due not only to the growth of Zaragoza because of its International Exposition 2008 but also to the rise in the mountain tourism industry in the Pyrenees. …knowing how to live: nature, history and sport Spain Spain is one of the most balanced countries in Europe if we consider the number of people who live in the country and the surface area it occupies on the Iberian Peninsula. Spain currently has 44,108,530 inhabitants. Spain enjoys a labour market that offers many opportunities and, in some aspects, it is a country that is heading the field of the world’s most developed countries, as is the case with tourism. Currently, our country is the world’s second highest tourist destination, having welcomed almost 56 million visitors during 2005. Spain’s reputation as a welcoming country is renowned throughout the world. Thanks to foreigners registering in the country (2.1%), population growth in Spain is higher than that registered for the European Union. Demographic studies predict a more moderate increase in the population from this year until 2014. Nonetheless, the estimated number of people living in Spain by then will be 46,945,809. Until now, population growth in the EU has been 0.3%, according to official data from Eurostat.

This key event in the history of the city and Aragon will celebrate the dynamic relationship between the universal element of water and human societies. Based on an essential concept – water and sustainable development – the Zaragoza International Exposition 2008 will aim to be an equally global, efficient and supportive project.

VIII. General Conditions and Experience

23. ENVIRONMENT a. Provide an assessment of current environmental conditions in your city/region. Jaca is located in the northeast of Aragon, an area of exceptional natural and ecological values. The high Aragon regions of Jacetania and Alto Gállego extend from the heights of the main Pyrenees peaks to the pre-Pyrenees foothills in the west of Aragon, lined by the valleys of the Aragon and Gállego Rivers, beside whose tributaries there is a hydrographical network of exceptional natural and ecological value. They cover an area of 3,200 km and 44% of this has been included in the EU’s Natura 2000 Network, because of the importance of preserving its different species and long list of ecosystems or habitats of community interest. In total, there are 33 Sites of Community Interest (SCI), covering 1,266 km, and 10 Special Protection Areas for Birds (SPAB), covering 787 km2. b. Provide details of ongoing environmental projects and their organisation. The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014 will also be supported within the framework of an ambitious environmental programme that has already been planned by local, regional and national government administrations. The most significant programmes are: • Establishing solar energy as a sustainable alternative to prevent climate change; • Selective waste disposal (batteries, glass, paper, containers and packaging) throughout the region; • Biomethanization of all urban waste organic matter; • Public campaign to reduce the contaminating burden of waste; • Public campaign for rational water use: a “new water culture”; • Public campaign to promote public transport and travel without private vehicles, thereby generating less fuel use and less atmospheric emissions; • Taking advantage of biogas as a fuel for public transport and to generate electricity; • Public campaign for the selective waste collection of paper, glass, containers and packaging; • Establishing environmental management systems in hotel installations; • Promotion of “green” shopping; • Programmes for architectural sustainability and energy efficiency in buildings. The setting up of a packaging treatment plant in Aragon has also been planned for the year 2014. c. Provide an assessment of the environmental impact of staging the Olympic Winter Games in your city/region. The celebration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Aragon will contribute to provide sustainable development in the area. The Jaca 2014 project will use already existing venues and infrastructures and any remodelling projects or new constructions will be carried out according to very strict studies, thereby minimising their environmental impact.

Jaca has signed the Aalborg Charter for sustainability in European cities. Moreover, the Olympic project will develop its own Agenda 21 that will be linked to the Aragon region and inspired by the Agenda 21 of the International Olympic Committee. This Olympic Agenda 21 will establish a Sustainable Development Plan that will be drawn up in cooperation with experts and social agents. As a mountain tourism city, Jaca also forms part of the Green Municipality project, whose aim is to introduce the best environmental management programme. A Good Environmental Practices Manual will also be introduced and this will be adopted in the region of Aragon by all the private and public institutions that will collaborate in Olympic project works, services and supplies. An Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) will also be introduced in sports installations and this will be extended to all Jaca City Council installations, including programmes to reduce consumption of energy and water and the generation of waste. The Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014 will provide an opportunity to continue environmental improvement conditions within the area. Public transport will also play a leading role in mobility, thereby avoiding the use of private vehicles and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In short, a strategy will be developed to achieve 0-balance greenhouse gas emissions; that is, Neutral Carbon Games. d. Have environmental impact studies been carried out on any of your proposed venues and does legislation in your country require you to carry out environmental impact studies? If so, at what stage of planning? The Jaca 2014 Bid will carry out an Environmental Evaluation Strategy for its Olympic project in which the environmental, social and economic effects on the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be analysed in an overall manner. This analysis will be completed by a Study on Climate Change in the Pyrenees area and an Environmental Impact Evaluation of the installation projects subject to legislation concerning this material and requiring improvements for the celebration of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Spanish urban and environmental legislation establishes the obligation to evaluate the environmental impact of certain plans, programmes and projects, as well as providing diverse tools for territorial planning. This environmental impact evaluation procedure is realised before the authorisation or execution of any projects. On the other hand, the activities of all the venues and mountain resorts that are subject to environmental legislation requirements already posses the relevant mandatory authorisations, having been studied by an Environmental Impact Evaluation procedure.

VIII. General Conditions and Experience

24. METEOROLOGY Jaca 2014 guarantees the celebration of all planned outdoor competition events for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014. The meteorological data for the planned venues can be found in Charts 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. The climate in the first half of February in both the areas of Zaragoza and that of Jaca and its mountains is characterised by mild temperatures and a suitable amount of snow cover, which will allow both athletes and visitors to enjoy some magnificent atmospheric

conditions. These same conditions have been taken into account when choosing outdoor competition and training venues. The dates selected for the celebration of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Jaca 2014 are best in terms of the actual climate parameters of visibility, wind and rainfall in Zaragoza and Jaca.

VIII. General Conditions and Experience

25. EXPERIENCE What experience have you had in hosting international sports events and multi-sports events? Jaca has a long and fruitful tradition when it comes to hosting international sports events. Currently, the city of Jaca is preparing to host the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF), which will take place in February 2007. This is a significant fact that is very important as a driving force for winter sports activity. The International Olympic Committee has confided in our city to carry out this interesting competition aimed at younger athletes and has fully taken into account the entrepreneurial spirit of the Aragonese and the successes that Jaca has always achieved in the last few years hosting two winter university games. This competition is another successful event in our development of winter sports. Spain competes with the best in major sporting events. It has organised 27 world championships for different Olympic sports in the last few years and 26 European championships. And this shows the unquestionable support that Spanish government administrations have provided to sports initiatives and, at the same time, the great trust that the international sports world places in Spanish organisational teams.

This phenomenon explains the quality of infrastructures in Spain aimed at high-level competitions, as well as Spain’s excellent range of hotels, which have always provided complete satisfaction for the demands of international sports federations. This talent for hosting large-scale events has made Spain into a country you can trust, something that international Olympic sports federations have been doing continuously for many years. Should Jaca be chosen to host the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2014, it will provide this long-proven know-how to the International Olympic Committee and, as is common, the enthusiasm of all our athletes and work of the volunteers who have always supported us. Jaca and its mountain resorts have been the setting of major sports events, a highlight of which has been the celebration of the World Professional Figure Skating Championships between 1990 and 1998. And the World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships will be held in Zaragoza in 2000, in an emblematic installation, the Príncipe Felipe Pavilion, which is also included in our project. Currently, Zaragoza is preparing to host the International Exposition in 2008. Jaca 2014. Tú puez fer-la
