On 16th September 2020, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen gave her maiden State of the Union address to the European Parliament. The State of the Union, as prescribed in the 2010 Framework, requires the President of the Commission to address the Parliament in September and outline the priorities for the Commission until the end of the upcoming year.

As a result of the consultation process with main stakeholders of the fitness and physical activity sector, EuropeActive outlined its overall priorities and corresponding work programme for 2020 – 2021. The strategy paper, first published in spring, defined how the association would deliver information and assistance for our sector to effectively operate through COVID-19, reopening, and help the sector adapt to the post-C19 scenario.
