Italy has blocked the adoption of all the conclusions of the first day of the summit in Brussels, as it had threatened.
According to a European Council statement, "one Member State has expressed reservations about all the conclusions and no conclusions have been reached so far".
It is recalled that Italy had earlier threatened to veto if its immigration demands were not met.
