How to Pay the CONFERENCE FEE

(Due by June 1, 2001)
Fee covers registration, welcoming reception, and banquet.

NON-FRENCH PARTICIPANTS (UPDATED Again May 29, 2001!): make payment of 2500 FF (French Francs) by BANK TRANSFER to:
Name: => BDF NANTERRE LA DEFENSE
Swift code => BDFEFRPPCCT
Account Number: => FR35 30001 00936 0000X055054 02
Owner of the account => TRESORERIE GENERALE DES HAUTS DE SEINE
Recipient (i.e. beneficiary) => CNRS 00003000310 90
Originator To Beneficiary Instructions => Payment of conference registration for
TSPM-Avignon Conference
Possible routing bank in US (or corresponding bank) => First Union National Bank
When you give this information to a US bank:

IFF this bank has an account in any europen bank: the US bank senda the money to the european bank, which will know how to proceed with the information above.
IF the US bank has no account in europe: the it will have the "reflex" to use another US bank, which has an account in europe....., or the FUNB, which can send the money directly to BDF.

Note that, in front of the account number, ther is know the ref. "FR35", that was not mentionned in my previous e-mails. BDF told me that, with this "FR35", the account number becomes an "international account number", and that it may help (but this is not mandatory, because the system of international numbers is very recent...).

I know some of you have had problems with this because I have.

The following worked: I had the credit union fill in their wire-transfer form as follows:
