A Downing Street spokesman said that “very large gaps” remained between the two sides following the dinner meeting in Brussels.
They said that a talks would continue but a firm decision would be made by Sunday 13th December on whether agreement can be reached.
The two leaders had been trying to break the deadlock over the issue of fair competition rules and the separate issue of fishing quotas.
