Mr Vale de Almeida was summoned by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to “set the record straight” on the EU’s incorrect vaccine attacks on Britain.
An EU official added: “The UK hasn’t accredited the EU representative as ambassador so that’s less convenient if you want to summon him.”
Ms Mannion will meet Philip Barton, permanent under secretary of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
Foreign Secretary Mr Raab summoned the EU for a dressing down because Downing Street was furious at having to repeatedly “set the record straight” over vaccines as another cross-Channel row broke out.

British officials plan to push for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to continue to pressure Russia to provide answers over its use of banned substances, and will raise potential measures with key European allies, including France and Germany, in the coming weeks, according to one of the people.
