President Sassoli press conference following his intervention at EU Summit

The EP President will hold a press conference today at 15:30, right after his exchange of views with EU leaders on new measures to tackle the crisis.

Parliament, in its resolution adopted on 17 April on EU action to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, called for joint EU action to continue post-lockdown, “recovery bonds” guaranteed by the EU budget and an EU Coronavirus Solidarity Fund of at least EUR 50 billion.

The briefing will take place in the Anna Politkovskaya pressroom and via Skype.

Parliament will be using an interactive virtual press environment (with interpretation) based on Skype TX, in conjunction with the traditional EbS and web-streaming services.

If you wish to ask a question:

  • You will need a SKYPE account.
  • Connect to VOXBOXEP and write your name and media organisation in the chat box

Please use headphones and a microphone for better sound quality.

The system will be managed by Parliament’s media services and you will be placed in a queue (virtual waiting room) before being invited to ask your question(s).

If you have any trouble connecting, you can contact: +32 22834220.

After asking a question / listening to the reply (and any follow-up), you should then disconnect from Skype so that the next journalist in line can be connected to the press briefing room.
