Insurance for those participating in WYD2000 |
|
The
Italian Committee for the 15th World Day of Youth has also
drawn up an agreement with the INA-Assitalia
Group to insure all the young people participating in the WDY.
The agreement will be valid throughout the whole territory of
Italy, not only in Rome where the World Day of Youth will actually be
celebrated.
Together with other services designed for WDY 2000, this will
safeguard all those who, in whatever circumstances, are taking part in the
event.
All the young people registered for the 15th WDY,
therefore, are insured against risk of civil responsibility towards third
parties, and against theft and accident.
They will be covered from 24.00 hours on 12th August
2000 until 24.00 on 21st August 2000, throughout the whole
territory of Italy.
The
policies -
civil
responsibility:
this covers participants when they are responsible in civil terms according
to the law theft: covers the participants for direct material losses, caused to objects of their own property, consigned to the staff of the 15th WDY; accident: covers participants for damages suffered from fortuitous causes which result in bodily injuries which have as a consequence death, permanent incapacity, and any expenses which may be incurred as a result of accidents. The policy will therefore not only be valid during the WDY, which begins on 15th August and ends on 20th), but is extended to the previous days, when at least 150,000 young people will arrive for the twinning arrangements with the Italian dioceses, and up to the date of their return to their own countries. The previous World Day of Youth events have shown that young people in this context, even though very numerous and full of life, do not cause any particular problems.
