The 27 leaders did not support the latest proposal that the 2021-27 budget be 1.069% of the gross domestic income.
Most of the summit, convened so that they could reach a compromise on the new Multiannual Financial Framework, passed in bilateral meetings, while the plenary kept being postponed all day.
After a new proposal was drawn up, with little changes made to European Council President Charles Michel's earlier draft, the EU leaders convened again but soon ended the meeting without reaching an agreement.
