UK Prime Minister Theresa May spent 15 minutes before the EU summit dinner to persuade other leaders on her Brexit plan. But she ended without any progress to break the impasse. European Parliament Antonio Tajani noted the “tone was more relaxed than in Salzburg, undoubtedly”, referring to the last summit. But he also added ” I did not perceive anything substantially new in terms of content”.
More importantly, EU leaders decided that there was no “decisive progress” for calling an unscheduled summit in November. Instead, they’re now targeting to close the deal in December. Though, one EU official was quoted saying “everyone wants to keep the volume low” even though an November summit is very unlikely.
