The European Parliament has offered the city of Brussels the use of one of its buildings, as well as its vehicles, to help in the fight against coronavirus.
Klaus Welle, the Parliaments secretary-general, made the offer on Wednesday, according to Parliament spokesperson Jaume Duch Guillot. He said the idea is to let the Brussels authorities use the Helmut Kohl building on Square de Meeus (close to its main building), as well as about 100 cars and other vehicles.
“The president of the Parliament David Sassoli and its services have been examining for several days how the Parliament could help,” Duch Guillot told the Belga news agency. “The building could be used as a hospital or temporary residence for people who need care. Drivers could help carry food or medicines.”
The Parliaments buildings are mostly empty after Sassoli brought in measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus, including by banning visitors and sending most staff home.
