@nchrysoloras You leave quite a space in the press room. Good luck Nikos, hope we will keep on meeting

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

@MehreenKhn @DanaSpinant @MamerEric The best part of Brussels is that you meet amazing people. The sad part is that they leave again. Like today, when probably the best, brightest, sharpest and pleasantly disruptive journalist I've met is saying goodbye. I'll miss you dearly.

@IJzendoornV Zo te zien houdt iedereen zich aan de 1.5m afstand.

@afneil Die 98 procent slaat niet op de Franse boten. Spelen met statistieken. Snap niet dat VK bereid is over zoiets kleins de relatie met Fr zo te verzieken

@mkeulemans @thierrybaudet Sorry, was niet mijn bedoeling je met Baudet te vergelijken. Wilde je alleen een goed stuk van maarten sturen. Ook omdat jij vaak zegt dat corona net als griep is

@aleshojs @ZerjavicDelo @TimmermansEU @EU2021SI Dear minister, if it was not Timmermans, who did you have in mind when you said someone high in the EU bureaucracy deserved the name 'swine'?

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

Slovenian minister of Interior Hojs just suggested he might call commissioner Timmermans “a swine” because Timmermans refused to be on family photo with Slovenian pm Jansa.

@Esther_de_Lange Helaas gaf AZ-ceo Soriot opnieuw geen antwoord op de vraag.

Deal on EU recovery fund

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

EU-president Michel komt met hogere korting op de EU-afdracht: 1,92 miljard euro per jaar ipv 1,57 miljard

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

Latest proposal EU president Michel for RRF recovery fund: 390bn on grants and 360 bn loans.

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

New proposal EU-president Michel: recovery fund stays at 750 bn but a bit less grants (450 bn instead of 500 bn) and bit more loans (300bn instead of 250bn). Dutch demand for a veto is rewarded: one member state can stop payments. Now difficult negotiations start again.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Fighting to save peoples’ lives and protect peoples’ livelihoods is the overriding mission of all public authorities across the EU.
We are doing just that.

Watch the press conference by President @vonderleyen #coronavirus

Instead the plenary will be in Brussels. So no roving circus this month

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

European Parliament will not go to Strasbourg next week. Plenary meeting canceled because of spread corona virus.

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

Snappy comments of Merkel ('childish behaviour') , Michel ('quelle arrogance'), Sanchez and Macron on how Rutte positioned himself and frugal 4 during last MFF summit.

EU President Tusk proposes extension Brexit, presumably until 31st of January 2020. Heads of state will respond quickly. No extra summit needed.

[marc peeperkorn @marcpeeperkorn]

Start new European Commission Von der Leyen postponed with at least one month. Search for acceptable candidates from France, Romania, Hungary takes longer than expected. Juncker team will be with us until 1-12. And takes possible flak of hard Brexit.

@markduursma @volkskrant Ai, gewoon vergissing. Niet één pot nat. Mijn topografische kennis van Europa is zo slecht nog niet.
