EU summit venue shut again by noxious fumes
Brussels
THE Building where European Union (EU) leaders will meet on Thursday for a two-day summit was evacuated on Wednesday for the second time in a week after kitchen staff were again made ill by noxious fumes.
Brussels Europa Building, opened only in January amid some controversy over its cost, was evacuated but the Council of the European Union, the EU institution which runs the venue, said the summit would go ahead as planned - if necessary in the former main site, which remains in operation next door.
