Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response
Dr. Gianni Buquicchio:
-----for example, Denmark, the members of the Supreme Court cannot travel abroad because the governing department thinks that they must be safe to exercise their duties. But a generalised permission to travel abroad has occurred in many countries of Europe, especially in France, Switzerland, Germany, etc. Even for us, in summer we could not cross the border with Germany for several weeks. This is possible. Of course there must be a legal basis for doing this but it can be permitted by the European Convention.
