MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The 13th floor of the EU Commission headquarters, the Berlaymont building, was evacuated due to a fire, European Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said on Friday.
"Indeed, you would have seen some emergency vehicles which reached the Berlaymont roughly as we were coming down to the press room, I understand that there was an incident on the 13th floor that required their intervention, that the floor be evacuated," Mamer told a briefing when asked whether it was a fire at the building earlier on Friday.
The building is safe, Mamer noted, adding that the European Commission would provide more information about the fire later.
