There have been hundreds of infections with the novel corona virus in the EU Parliament in recent weeks. "Between members, staff and staff of Parliament - on the weekend before last we had 171 infections,"
said Parliament President David Sassoli on Wednesday in Brussels. Against this background, he defended the extensive restrictions on parliamentary operations. The European parliament had shut down its activity again because of the second corona wave since mid-October.
The planned plenary sessions in Strasbourg were canceled and instead held in Brussels to a significantly reduced extent. MEPs were advised not to travel to Brussels.
Instead, they should be video-connected from the liaison offices in the Member States for the floor to speak during the plenary session.
