Normally after big summits like the one we've just had in Brussels, leaders make media statements about their most pressing discussions.
Europe's leaders are keen to clarify they won't personally intervene in the current impasse in trade talks. There'll be no last-minute handshake or "a-ha" moment in Paris, Warsaw or Berlin.

Brexit negotiations: EU tells UK to move if it wants post-Brexit deal - by Eszter Zalan
EU leaders on Thursday (15 October) called on London to make the "the
necessary moves" in negotiations on the EU-UK future relationships, in
order to have a deal ready for January next year.
The EU-27 also called on the EU Commission to draw up contingency measures in case there is no deal.
The heads of government talked Brexit for over two hours at their Brussels summit, and without phones in the room, as the negotiations now enter two critical weeks.
The EU wants to UK to move on the following issues: fair competition and state aid, fisheries, and governance of the future agreement.
"We are united and determined to reach on agreement, but not at any cost," European Council president Charles Michel told reporters online in a break of the EU summit, which is also dealing with climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic.
"I will continue intensive discussion in the coming weeks," EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier said, who gave the press conference along with Michel after commission president Urusla von der Leyen had to abruptly leave the summit to go into precautionary self-isolation after one of her staff tested positive for coronavirus.
Barnier said that he will discuss with his British counterpart, David Frost, a schedule for talks, adding he will be in London ready to continue talks throughout next week, and offered to continue in Brussels the week after.
