An EU source with knowledge of today’s meeting said: “Tusk suggested that the Corbyn plan could be a promising way out of the impasse.”
EU officials who have looked at the letter the Labour leader sent the prime minister on Wednesday believe that it is broadly compliant with the guidelines set out by the EU’s remaining 27 member states.
Dropping Labour’s previous demand that the government secures the “exact same benefits” as the membership of the EU’s single market after Brexit, Corbyn indicated he would back a deal if it delivered a permanent customs union, “close alignment” with the single market, protections for workers’ rights, participation in EU agencies and funding programmes, and agreements on future security arrangements.
During Thursday’s meeting with May, Tusk reiterated that the withdrawal agreement was not open for renegotiation.
The source said that “May did not offer any new concrete proposals on the way forward.”
