The European Union at its best

The European Union working at its best is the story of German cooperation with France and Italy in these strange days.

Planes and trains are ferrying Covid-19 patients who need intensive care from Italy and France to German hospitals.

In one example the Archdiocese of Cologne is taking patients from northern Italy to eight Catholic clinics in Cologne.

The patients are being flown from northern Italy in specially prepared Lufthansa Airbuses.

The Archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki said that it was an encouraging example of cross-border solidarity and an act of practical love for our neighbours.
