Amsterdam was not included in the Calendar because the event could not find a suitable date.

Aarhus was not included in the Calendar because the World Cup Working Group decided that CSI-W´s in Western Europe must either be held in a multi-purpose sports arena or a large hall of an Exhibition Centre, both with a spectator capacity of at least 4´000. Aarhus has been held in a Riding Centre.

There were three applications from Germany. The Working Group confirmed Dortmund and decided to replace Berlin by Leipzig – the latter having just staged a highly successful World Cup Final.

Since the World Cup Calendar of the Western European League now comprises 13 events, it was decided not to pursue the matter of reducing the number to 12 at this moment. The Working Group will meet again end of 2002, to reconsider the matter.
