In this talk, we discuss the various ingredients entering the calculation of the NNLO corrections in e+ e- annihillation.6 pages, talk given at the Europhysics Conference on HEP, Budapest, July 2001High Energy Physics - PhenomenologySteps towards the QCD calculation for e+ e- --> 3 jets at NNLOtext
