the Union can, at the official request of the administration or company you represent, approach the
competent Swiss authorities in order to facilitate delivery of the visa. Any such request must specify
the name and functions of the individual(s) for whom the visa(s) is/are requested and be
accompanied by a copy of the approved registration form approved for the ITU conference or
