The European Union is unlikely to approve further virus-related stimulus until all leaders can meet face-to-face in Brussels, Latvia's prime minister told CNBC Thursday.

The 27-member bloc is working on a plan to raise 750 billion euros on the public markets to distribute as grants and loans topandemic. The idea is part of wider discussions on how the EU should spend its common budget between 2021 and 2027 — an exercise that traditionally takes all-night and various meetings before pleasing all EU nations.

"I think it will take a face-to-face meeting, but that is really a question that's dependent on the path of the virus, it's not really a political decision," Krišjānis Kariņš, the prime minister of Latvia, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" Thursday. The 27 heads of state have been unable to meet in person since February due to travel restrictions and strict lockdown measures to contain the spread of Covid-19. The drastic actions are currently being slowly lifted across the EU, but there are currently no plans to host a new EU summit in Brussels.

A spokesperson for the European Council president, who chairs the EU summits in Brussels, has downplayed expectations of a breakthrough later this month.

The EU is an ARTIFICIAL entity created for the SOLE PURPOSE of CONTROLLING SMALLER European nations by LARGER EU nationS. It is time for SMALLer countries to ABANDON/EXIT this STUPID group

“Stimulus,” “liquidity” and “backstops,” are all Keynesian lies. Excuses for government intervention, manipulation, a gamed system and a govt blank checkbook, the last being the entire purpose of the sham economics peddled by the “experts.”

Crisis made EU countries act like panicked shoppers, commissioner saysThe chaos caused by EU capitals introducing border controls in March was like the actions of panic-buying shoppers, said Commissioner for Home Affairs, who warned against more uncoordinated travel restrictions if there is a second wave of the virus We do have to learn to live with this virus-I don't see many traveling before Fall 2020. 'We're going to live with this for a very long time, and that's why we need to learn how to live with it, to combine protecting people with having, maybe not a normal life, but a new normal.” Nobody cares about the virus anymore. We can link arms and gather by the hundreds and our mayor's, governors and press have given the seal of approval now. Спасибо за новость
