COVID-19 crisis management in the Benelux Union

In the Benelux context, there is a very intense cooperation between the three crisis centers and this on the basis of the Memorandum of Understanding concluded in 2006 on cooperation in the field of crisis management with possible cross-border consequences.

In this context, the crisis centers in the Benelux countries have also been in constant contact with each other during this COVID-19 crisis and information has been exchanged using the transmission system which provides for information on a crisis situation with cross-border consequences to be sent, twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week.
