The final draft agenda for the May 2020 (651.596/PDOJ) sittings had been distributed and the following changes had been proposed (Rule 158):

The President announced that he had received six requests to apply the urgent procedure (Rule 163) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic for the adoption of the following files during that part-session:

—   Macro-financial assistance to enlargement and neighbourhood partners in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis (INTA file);
