Von Der Leyen's take on today's meeting
- We gained a clear understanding of each others' positions and they remain far apart
- We agreed that the teams should immediately reconvene to try to resolve these essential issues
- We will come to a decision by the end of the weekend
None of this sounds great but cable is only down 60 pips so you have to assume there's some room to work with.
RTE reports that a a senior UK source described the discussion as "frank".
