<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All delegates passing through Europe to reach
Ecuador please note that you <U>DO need a Schengen visa (despite all
rumours to the contrary)</U>. You need this visa even if you are not stepping
out of the airport to change terminals. There is a high probablilty that you
will not be allowed to board your fight without the visa even if you have return
tickets and all other documents. As of now it seems that passengers going
through Amsterdam may not need one but please keep track of any new
developments. </FONT></DIV>
