In the context of the exponential growth of the coronavirus disease, the President of the European Parliament has announced a number of measures to contain the spread of epidemic and to safeguard Parliament's core activities.

On 2 April, the Conference of Presidents updated the EP's calendar of activities to introduce an extraordinary plenary session on Thursday 16 and Friday 17 April in Brussels, and additional dates for remote meetings for EP governing bodies, committees and political groups.

The current precautionary measures adopted by the EP to contain the spread of COVID-19 do not affect the functioning of European democracy: activities are reduced, but committees continue to be operational and ensure that the institution's legislative, budgetary and control functions are maintained.

Following these decisions, the CONT Committee meeting of 29-30 April is cancelled. The next committee meeting is likely to take place by remote participation in the first week of May (tbc).
