Then it should be completly free for both parties.
You're probably right about this, but whether it's completely free is another matter. My bank's fee structure mentions zero cost handling in a footnote which applies to transfers from other countries, but at the same time it still lists various prices for transfers to other countries. I'm sure my bank will add on charges creatively, anyway. Given the lack of any advice about how fees should be distributed, I just gave the usual advice that prevents a somewhat lesser amount arriving at the EuroPython end. I apologise if anyone (starting with myself) gets charged higher fees because of that.
