SPAIN will ask for an estimate to a graphic designer to have the price a digital version and printed version. ICELAND will support the

cost if we choose to do so. First, the brochure will be made in English. After that, each country will translate the brochure into their own language.

The brochure will use the topics of the exchanges:
