  •  Romania and  Finland advanced to the Europe/Africa Zone Group I for the next year. The Romanians placed second in their pool of five, while the Finns placed last in their pool of four and thus faced relegation back to Group II for 2007.[5][6]
  •  Norway and  Tunisia were relegated down to Europe/Africa Zone Group III for the next year. The Norwegians and Tunisians respectively placed first and third in the same pool of five, meaning that Tunisia would remain in Group III for 2007, while Norway would advance back to Group II.[7][8]
