schema:articleBody	The European Parliament will hold next week's session by videoconference as a precaution against coronavirus, its president said Thursday, despite France's demand that it return to Strasbourg. The news comes after French President Emmanuel Macron announced curfews in nine cities to contain an alarming rise in Covid-19 cases, although Strasbourg, in the country's east, is not affected. "I regret to announce that next week's plenary will not take place in Strasbourg, but will be remote," David Sassoli, the parliament president -- effectively its speaker, wrote on Twitter. "The situation in France and Belgium is very serious. Travelling is a danger." The European Parliament has two bases, with the bulk of its work being carried out in Brussels alongside the other institutions of the European Union, and 12 week-long sessions in Strasbourg every year. The costly and time-consuming trek for MEPs and their thousands of staff between the two cities has often been criticised, but France vehemently insists on its right -- enshrined in the EU treaty -- to host the assembly. Last month Macron demanded the parliament return to Strasbourg as soon as possible, saying Europe would be "screwed" if it met only in Brussels. Since March, when the pandemic began to take hold in Europe, the parliament has met exclusively in Brussels, with many members connecting by video link to allow social distancing. Macron will have the chance to make his views known to Sassoli face to face on Thursday when they meet at an EU summit in Brussels. pdw/dc/wdb
