The proposal is one of several that are doing the rounds in EU capitals as dip- lomats intensify efforts to find solutions ahead of the European Council summit at the end of the month.

But this is not the only problem. Over the past few days, migration has led to It- aly and France trading insults and Angela Merkel's coalition government in Germa- ny teetering on collapse. In an opinion piece appearing today, Muscat hopes that "facetime between leaders, away from tweets, formal com- munication or phone calls, will help achieve progress".
