The EU leaders’ summit scheduled for this week will be postponed a week after a European Council member, Charles Michel, approved a coronavirus test, who announced it in Brussels on Tuesday.
Barend Leyts, spokesman for the President of the European Council, told Twitter that the meeting scheduled for September 24 and 25 would be postponed to October 1 and 2.
As you wrote, the reason is that a coronavirus test by one of the security officers working in the vicinity of Charles Michel came back positive. He added that after seeing that a Council official had been infected, Michel also underwent a virus test. The first test was negative, but it must be quarantined according to Belgian law.
EU leaders are scheduled to meet in Brussels in early October to discuss issues related to the single market, industrial policy and digital transformation, as well as foreign relations, in particular with Turkey and China. The two-day summit will also provide an opportunity to review the current state of the coronavirus pandemic.
