Cure-All Sunday EU Council meeting deferred until Wednesday

Can't agree or cannot agree, the French and German guiding lights behind the Euro Group of countries, have at least decided they will not agree by Sunday and have surprisingly agreed to issue a jointly agreed statement as follows:

....that Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel would meet to discuss their "ambitious and comprehensive response" to the crisis ahead of the European Council summit on Sunday.

But in a tacit admission of the gulf between them, the statement added that resolutions would be "finally adopted" at a "second meeting no later than Wednesday".

The report in the newspaper from which that quote was taken, linked here, thereafter continued:

But in a tacit admission of the gulf between them, the statement added that resolutions would be "finally adopted" at a "second meeting no later than Wednesday".
Insiders said the weekend's summit of European leaders came close to being cancelled altogether, with the French president Mr Sarkozy having to beg German Chancellor Mrs Merkel not to pull the plug during frantic telephone calls.
