This week in Parliament: Covid-19

On Thursday, the employment committee will decide whether to back the European Commission decision to classify the virus causing Covid-19 as a risk group three biological agent or push for it to be classified as risk group four, which would mean more stringent health and safety measures for workers. Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, will discuss the bank’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak with the economic affairs committee on Monday. On Tuesday, MEPs will vote on changes to EU capital requirement rules for banks, which aim to allow them to better support businesses and households.
