To date, as countries have weak knowledge of the coronavirus and its potential impact, it’s far too early to make any firm conclusions on this entire situation. Nevertheless, it is of great importance to observe the situation in Europe from national and regional perspectives as European countries do have variations in their coronavirus containment policies and measures. Benelux countries are small EU Member States, but they have a relatively high number of coronavirus confirmed cases and deaths. In particular, as of 5 April 2020, Belgium and the Netherlands are ranked the fifth and sixth worst-affected EU countries behind Spain, Italy, Germany and France. In this paper, the author tries to chronologically follow the evolution of the coronavirus outbreak in Benelux countries, explores and interprets their containment measures taken, and gives some thoughts about the coronavirus crisis and its potential impact. Key words: Coronavirus outbreak; Containment measures; Benelux; Further thoughts Introduction As of 4 April, according to the data of the worldometer.info2, the coronavirus outbreak, known as COVID-19, is affecting 205 countries and territories around the world, of which many European countries are seeing steep rises in infections and deaths. The website, based upon the total confirmed coronavirus cases of each country, ranks the three Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) 11th, 12th and 35th out of all these affected countries respectively. Considering the relatively small population (17, 11 and 0.6 million respectively), 1 Zeren Langjia, Ph.D. in EU Studies, Assistant Researcher, Institute of European Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Retrieved 5 April 2020. 1 the Benelux is witnessing a fast growing and high number of coronavirus infections, which is exerting great impact on many aspects of people’s daily life and their behaviours. In this paper, the author tries to follow the developmental evolution of coronavirus infections in Benelux and explore the reasons behind the steep rises in the coronavirus cases, analyses the coronavirus containment measures taken by Benelux countries, and gives some thoughts on the coronavirus outbreak, its impact and its challenges to the Benelux and the world in a wider sense. Evolution of the COVID-19 Outbreak in Benelux Countries BelgiuM Phase one: 29 January to 29 February Belgium had its first confirmed Coronavirus case on 4 February, which is actually the only confirmed case in January and February, but the then situation was not serious and seemed under control. Belgian Minister of Health Maggie De Block said, the country works in three phases according to the development of the outbreak:3 Phase 1: That means that the virus is kept out and that people with complaints are checked. Phase 2: That means that the virus is already passed on in our country. If the virus is there, the main focus is on isolation. Possible patients are tested, and the people around him or her are also tested. There is also a European system for notifying each other. Stage 3: That means there really is an outbreak, and many people are getting infected. Italy is currently in phase 3. Then the focus is on medical care. As of 25 February, De Block said that Belgium was still in phase 1 and “it is now mainly a matter of waiting, adjusting and seeing that the hospitals are ready” 4. The country did not have the plan to extra check Belgian tourists who visited Italy. Health Minister further added5, it makes no sense to extra check these tourists and close the border. Of course, quarantine is not 3 Hanne Decré, “Minister De Block: ‘Kans is reëel dat coronavirus naar ons land komt, maar er is een plan’” (in Dutch), 25 FeBruary 2020.

Retrieved 1 April 2020. 2 supposed to be a measure at all for this stage. According to De Block, Belgium was prepared for the possible outbreak of the Coronavirus in the country. However, the fact that Belgium did not extra check Belgians returning from Italy has hints of what’s going to come later. Phase two: from 1 March After Belgium found the second Coronavirus case on 1 March, the country entered the phase 2 of its health risk containment strategy, which means that official measures would focus on containing the virus from spreading further inside the country, every person whom the infected patients had close contact with is identified, but those who showed no symptoms were allowed to resume their routine activities without requirements for quarantine.6 Although the number of infected cases was slowly increasing, it seems the patients’ whereouts were traceable and the whole situation was under control. However, some experts criticized the government for lack of measures and called for wider testing.7 According to research, patients without symptoms may also infect other people. Thus, symptom-free patients, who were not in quarantine, probably expanded the infections before they showed symptoms at later time. Of the ten new cases on 4 March, nine patients recently returned from Italy. On the same say, the European Defence Aganecy confirmed that one of its senior staff tested positive, who had a trip to Italy and thus became the first case in the EU agencies.8 It is said that this senior official had meeting with around thirty other European officials after he came back to Belgium. On 6 March, the Ministry of Health confirmed for the first time that infections occurred on Belgium territory. 9 Of course, the confirmed cases are the minimal number of infections because the confirmed number depends upon how many samples are taken for test. One of the top limitations for testing is the lack of reagents. On 10 March, the Federal Government advised against indoor events with more than 1000 people to curb the outbreak, but Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès said that it is not a ban but a recommendation. 10 This measure probably did not do any tangible contribution to 6 GaBriela Galindo, “Belgium enters Phase 2 for coronavirus: what does it mean?”, 2 March 2020, The Brussels Time.

On the other hand, the government did encourage companies to let employees telework, but had no objection to outdoor activities.11 For the time being, schools remained open but were advised not to travel abroad, and companies were encouraged to set flexible work time, which may reduce the possibility of be contracted in public transports. This was regarded as the reinforced phase 2, and social distance was the main measure advocated.12 Besides, Belgium had its first three death cases on 10 March, which possibly urged the relevant authorities to take stricter measures to control the situation. On 12 March, the National Security Council met at the request of the Prime Minister and in consultation with the Minister-Presidents and decided to “strengthen the existing measures with additional social distancing measures, with the same objective of stemming the spread of the epidemic”13. “From an operational point of view, we are moving into the federal phase of crisis management, which means that all decisions will be taken by a management cell composed of, among others, the Prime Minister, the competent ministers and the Ministers-Presidents.” 14 From Friday 13 March, schools, discos, cafes and restaurants closed, and all public gatherings for sporting, cultural or festive purposes were cancelled according to the government’s order made one day before.15 However, it’s not a lockdown because people were still allowed to go out of their houses. In the evening of 16 March, in view of the increasingly serious situation, the Belgium’s Head of State King Philippe, who normally addresses only on Christmas Eve and on the Eve of Belgian National Day, addressed the nation due to the exceptional health hazard of the coronavirus as he did in the aftermath of the 2016 terrorist attacks in Brussels and Zaventem.

HBM4EU is a European-scale human biomonitoring initiative under Horizon 2020 that includes 30 countries and the European Environment Agency. HBM4EU supports chemical policies by building knowledge on the exposure of the European population to chemicals and subsequent impacts on health. Zero pollution applies as much to people as to the environment. The bodies of European citizens are contaminated by hundreds of chemicals. To attain zero pollution, Europe needs human biomonitoring to measure chemicals in the bodies of European citizens and to assess the associated health impacts. Europe needs a human biomonitoring surveillance system grounded in European Union legislation. Populations in countries such as the USA, Canada and Korea already benefit from national human biomonitoring systems, a cornerstone of risk assessment and sustainable chemical management. Several Member States also have systems in place, including France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Czech Republic.

  • The German Presidency of the Council and the Eu Social Dimension
    POLICY BRIEF IMK Policy Brief 95 · July 2020 THE GERMAN PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL AND THE EU SOCIAL DIMENSION Laszlo Andor The German presidency of the Council and the EU social dimension Lazlo Andor On the 1st of July, Germany will take over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union. Normally, holding the chair of the council is not something that is considered to be a power position, especially since the Prime Minister of the given country is not chairing the European Council, which has been headed by an elected President since the entry in force of the Lisbon Treaty. However, Germany is taking over the presidency at a critical time which, even without the COVID-19 crisis, would have been a decisive juncture. The COVID-19 crisis and its aftermath allows the German government to play an extraordinary role in shaping the future of the EU, and within that, its social dimension. In this policy brief, we first outline the German approach to „Social Europe” in a historical perspective, and present an overview of the evolution of the EU social dimension itself. This will be followed by a discussion of the key items on the social agenda during the forthcoming German presidency. A schedule of planned Presidency meetings is given in an annex. Germany and the social dimension of the EU Germany is a founding member of the EU that has been wedded to the idea of a social market economy, and also its practice. Strong and institutionalised social dialogue at all levels, together with the „Bismarckian” welfare state, have been the main features of a post-war model, which suffered a major shock during the German unification of the 1990s, but was restored subsequently, and in certain areas has further developed.
