Rome, 10 March 2020 To: All Stakeholders concerned ________________________ Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, This is to inform you that, due to concerns over contagion from the COVID 19 virus, having spoken to the other stakeholders involved it has been decided to postpone the European Evening of Sport scheduled for 16 March to a date to be decided. We very much hope that this complex and dangerous situation will resolve itself soon and that we will be able to reschedule the event in the not too distant future. Best Regards, Janez Kocijančič Raffaele Pagnozzi President Secretary General From: Folker Hellmund <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2020 12:20 PM To: Folker Hellmund <[email protected]> Subject: European Evening of Sports 2020 - Event postponed! Dear Madam / Sir, We regret to inform you that due to the development of the coronavirus in Europe and concerns of many participants, we have taken the decision to postpone the European Evening of Sports 2020, initially planned to take place on 16 March in Brussels. Please find a letter of EOC President Janez Kocijancic and Secretary General Raffaele Pagnozzi attached to this mail. The health and wellbeing of our guests is of outmost importance to us, and the Europe-wide nature of our event was a determining factor in our decision, as the recent developments in a number of European countries and the rising number of positively tested persons in Belgium required an appropriate action. We apologise for any inconvenience this decision may have caused you, and will inform you as soon as possible about the new date. We truly regret the situation and wish for your kind understanding.
