European Union foreign ministers have failed to reach agreement on how to finance enlargement. The ministers did not even discuss the biggest stumbling block, agricultural subsidies, after all sides indicated that their positions had not changed. "We have to finish on Friday in Brussels. If we postpone to Copenhagen, it will be too late and the enlargement will not take place," said Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller, adding that time had to be left to negotiate with the candidate states over the deal on offer.
