GM1 Article 2(3) Definitions

DEFINITION OF ‘ASSEMBLIES OF PEOPLE’ Assemblies of people have been defined by an objective criterion related to the possibility for an individual to move around in order to limit the consequences of an out-of-control UA. It was indeed difficult to propose a number of people above which this group of people would turn into an assembly of people: numbers were indeed proposed, but they showed quite a large variation. Qualitative examples of assemblies of people are:

(a)sport, cultural, religious or political events;

(b)beaches or parks on a sunny day;

(c)commercial streets during the opening hours of the shops; and

(d)ski resorts/tracks/lanes.
