The community leaders, after nearly 12 hours of discussion, have failed to come to a consensus.
According to TASS, the heads of state and government of the European Union, following the results of the first day of the summit in Brussels, could not agree on the formation of a seven-year budget plan for 2021-2027 and a fund for the recovery of the community’s economy after the pandemic. The EU Council informed journalists that the meeting will resume on Saturday.
“The meeting of the European Council is over. The meeting will resume tomorrow at 11:00, – said the representative of this body, – There is no agreement yet. Everyone needs a pause. It will be necessary to return to negotiations with fresh forces “
According to one of the diplomats, the negotiations were blocked by the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte, who has “his own vision of managing the recovery fund.”
