A fire alarm has triggered another evacuation of the European Commission in Brussels, just nine days after a blaze damaged part of the building.
This time there was some flooding on the 13th floor, apparently caused by a faulty boiler, firefighters said.
At least four fire engines drew up outside the Berlaymont building, as staff crowded the pavements.
