ECAHO's Executive Committee (EC) has reviewed ECAHO's contracts with Officials, taking into consideration the various restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst others, many Officials will not be able to attend at least one ECAHO workshop during their term, thus not fulfilling their contractual obligations.

Therefore, the EC decided that all contractual appointments of Officials ending by 31 December 2020 will be automatically prolonged by one year until 31 December 2021. 

All other contractual termination clauses, such as for example concerning age limits, remain unchanged. An update on workshops and more will follow in due course.
