Clearing the footer inside tabular data after some of the content

Question

The europecv package, which I'm using to typeset my CV, seems to use the longtable package for the whole content and this presents a problem for me. I have no direct access to the tabular commands, I only type my content between the \begin{europecv} and \end{europecv} environment.

After some content I have a \newpage and what I want is for all pages after this to have no footer at all. If I try to place a \fancyfooter{}, it doesn't work. I have realized that this does not work because it's being placed inside the tabular data. I must place it outside it, that means, outside the \begin{europecv} and \end{europecv} environment. But that will only clear the footer on the last page, which is not necessarily the only page after the \newpage mentioned above. I want to clear all of them after that command.

I tried to do the same thing, a document spawning multiple pages but without tabular data (without using the europecv environment... This time it worked as expected because the \fancyfooter{} command was not inside a tabular environment.

I have no clue how to do what I want or if it's even possible. Any ideas?

Not working example:

\documentclass[helvetica,narrow,totpages]{europecv}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
    \begin{europecv}
        \ecvsection{Section}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[1]}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[2-3]}
        \newpage % I want to clear the footer on all pages AFTER this command
        %\fancyfoot{} % If used here, clears the footer on ALL pages
        \ecvsection{Section}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[4-5]}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[6]}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[7]}
    \end{europecv}
    \fancyfoot{} % If used here, clears the footer on the LAST page only
\end{document}

Working example:

\documentclass[helvetica,narrow,totpages]{europecv}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
    \lipsum[1-10]
    \newpage
    \fancyfoot{} % Clears the footer on all pages AFTER \newpage (last 2 in this example)
    \lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}

This works because the content is not inside the europecv environment and thus is not inside any table (looking at the europecv package, the \newenvironment{europecv} uses longtable.

You need to ensure that TeX has not seen the redefinition of the footer by the time the page that needs the footer is shipped out. You can reduce the amount of lookahead that happens in longtable by setting its chunksize to 1.

\documentclass[helvetica,narrow,totpages]{europecv}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\LTchunksize=1
\begin{document}
    \begin{europecv}
        \ecvsection{Section}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[1]}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[2-3]}
        \newpage % I want to clear the footer on all pages AFTER this command
        \ecvsection{Section}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[4-5]}
        \fancyfoot{} % If used here, clears the footer on ALL pages
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[6]}
        \ecvitem{Item}{\lipsum[7]}

    \end{europecv}

\end{document}
