In the context of the exponential growth of the epidemic, the President of the European Parliament has announced a number of measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to safeguard Parliament's core activities.
On 10 March, the Conference of Presidents adopted a revised calendar of meetings and the changes concern the following:
• Next week (week 12) is a "white week" without activities (instead of a committee week),
• Committee meetings will resume on weeks 13 and 14 together with Political Groups and Plenary,
• The April I plenary session will be held in Brussels from 1-2 April (instead of Strasbourg, 30 March - 2 April),
• Week 15 is now a "white week" without activities (instead of a "turquoise" week).
Following that decision the Petitions Committee meeting of 16 and 17 March 2020 is cancelled.
