The BSPC Standing Committee members reported at several Digital Standing Committee meetings on developments of the corona crisis to date, the current situation and the assessment of further steps in their countries.
The topic turned out to be of high interest for the participants; therefore, the Standing Committee agreed that the members of the BSPC would be asked to deepen the meeting’s survey through written reports on the subject.
The following statements update the first published compilation of statements from August 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic – The development in the BSPC member countries and the challenges for the parliaments
and give a survey of the development in most Baltic Sea Region Countries.
They furthermore inform about the effects on the work of parliaments and interparliamentary organisations as well as on legislative measures to deal with the consequences of the pandemic.
The update includes also information about the vaccination progress in the BSPC member countries.
The compilation will be updated as soon as further statements are received.
