Definition:

Companions are those persons who do not participate in the main activity of the congress and whose presence is justified by a participating congress member closely related to them.

Comments:

· Companions must be somehow linked to a congress member or delegate with whom they travel due to family ties, friendship or a work relationship.

· Companions can be counted through statistics on congress members. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-28-00-599-__-I-EN.pdf
