Whatever happens, it will make for an EU summit unlike any other at the urn-shaped Europa headquarters. “They will be well spaced” when they go into a restricted session with barely a few delegates, deadpanned an EU official preparing the summit. There will be no group photo of the leaders like at last December’s summit because of social distancing requirements. The main summit room will only use filtered, non-recycled air. So, even if it will be a true face-to-face meeting, it will be one laden with provisos.
