Salzburg presser with Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz, Council president Donald Tusk and Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker starting now. Kurz says UK and EU must ‘move towards each other’ to avoid a no deal Brexit.
Oof. Tusk: 'Eeverybody shared view that while there are positive elements in Chequers proposal, suggested framework for economic cooperation will not work not least because it risks undermining the Single Market.' That'll hurt May coming from him for a change rather than Barnier.
Tusk also says EU leaders will only decide to hold an emergency November summit, which is really wanted by the Brits, if there is 'maximum progress' in the talks in October. Member States turning the screw on May.
Tusk was looking nailed on to formally announce the November summit here in Salzburg. Then May went into her bilateral meeting with Leo Varadkar and told him the backstop won't be solved by October. Appears that didn't go down well.
Tusk also indicated Macron is winning his fight to get lots of detail into the political declaration: 'We agreed to have a political declaration which provides as much clarity as possible on future relationship.' Softer member states want it vague to give UK breathing space.
