  • EOC Newsletter EOC ACTING PRESIDENT
    EOC Newsletter No. 203 June 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, It is my sincere hope that all of you at the European National Olympic Committees are coping as well as possible with the COVID-19 pandemic and managing to find ways for your athletes and teams to prepare for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 next year. While the situation appears to be improving in many countries across the continent, others continue to struggle with the virus. To assist you all in this time of crisis, we recently distributed a lump sum of USD 25,000 to each European NOC and are now preparing to allocate another USD 1.55 million from the ANOC Tokyo 2020 fund to NOCs most affected by the pandemic. We trust that these resources will be helpful to stabilize operations until the sports world returns to normal again. Earlier this week I visited the EOC Head Office in Rome and was pleased to see everyone back in the office again after so many weeks working from home. I commend the team for their excellent work during this period, in particular for helping the EOC leadership adapt seamlessly to the new technological realities of conducting business under COVID-19 restrictions. On 1 July I had the honour of being the first guest to visit the Olympic House in Lausanne since the lockdown began in March. It was a pleasure to meet with IOC President Thomas Bach and discuss a number of important Olympic-related issues. Looking ahead, an EOC delegation will visit Warsaw, Kraków and the Małopolska region of Poland from 26-19 July.
