BRUSSELS: The European Commission locked down its staff on Tuesday after explosions at Brussels airport and at one and possibly two metro stations close to the EU institutions, the vice president in charge of personnel tweeted.
"EU institutions (are) working together to ensure security of staff and premises. Please stay home or inside buildings," said Budget Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva, who also handles employee and security issues, on her official Twitter account.
A spokesman for officials working in the European Parliament nearby said the legislature was working normally.
