Travelling within the EU is possible again. Therefore, we are resuming our activities. We are going to publish new vacancies and going to republish those which were on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. New trainings for candidate volunteers will take place this Autumn.
The EU Aid Volunteers team.
Today, Denmark, Greece, Hungary and Sweden have joined Germany and Romania as host states of the rescEU medical equipment reserve. With financial support from the European Commission, 6 EU Member States are building up common European stocks of lifesaving protective and other vital medical equipment.
The material can be distributed across Europe at times of medical emergencies, for example when national health systems are overwhelmed by coronavirus patients.
Today, Commissioner Lenarčič will participate in “Unlocking Education in Emergencies” panel discussion, which is part of the “Unlock Big Change - Education: the key to a better future” event organised by the Global Business Coalition for Education, a movement of businesses committed to ending the global education crisis, and Theirworld charity.
The EU is providing financial support to 18 Member States and the UK to transport essential medical items to Europe with funding totalling €150 million, through the Emergency Support Instrument (ESI).
ESI has allowed the EU to finance cargo shipments between April and September 2020, including life-saving personal protective equipment, medicines and medical equipment. For example, it supported the transport of a shared shipment of more than 1,000 tonnes of essential personal protective equipment to Czechia and Slovakia.
