STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -The Mobile World Congress (MWC), the telecoms industry's biggest annual gathering, can go ahead as planned after Spanish authorities approved its health and safety plan, its organisers said on Thursday.

MWC, which will be one of the first big technology conferences staged in Europe since the start of the pandemic, is scheduled to run from June 28 to July 1 in Barcelona. The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
