The European Maritime Day is postponed (date unknown) and the European Green Week (1-5 June) is under consideration. On the contrary, the European Sustainable Energy Week (22 – 26 June) is maintained, as well as the European Regions Week (12-15 October), whose new deadline to become a partner is now delayed to 17 April 2020.

European Green Week – UNDER CONSIDERATION
Preparations for the EU Green Week (1-5 June, Brussels) are continuing as planned, with careful monitoring of the Covid-19 outbreak.
World cafe, lightning talks, fishbowls, interactive sessions: the programme will focus on biodiversity in this broader ecological crisis. It will call for urgent action and explore possible pathways for change.
European Sustainable Energy week – MAINTAINED
The EU Sustainable Energy week (22-26 June, Brussels) is maintained. The EUSEW’s activities are meant to promote initiatives to save energy and move towards renewables and energy efficiency.
The SHERPA project will provide the Interreg MED contribution in a session about the EU sustainable energy agenda and European Green Deal session.

EU in my Region
As far as the #EUinmyRegion campaign, increased flexibility is granted. The recommendation is to postpone all local events to September and consequently their media communication and to maintain only the activities with no risks of infection (photo competition, web quizzes…). If regions or Member States decide to hold events in May, the recommendation is to make ex-ante risk assessments in cooperation with the competent health authorities.
