The EU is, by definition, firm and united on a position until the 
internal balance changes so that the position may change. The only thing 
on which member states agree is that to show divisions in public is 
absolutely to be avoided. There were informal attempts by some countries 
to clarify that they were pushing for the EU position not to be the one 
that it happens to be, but in the end everyone stands firm behind the 
official position, while trying to privately convince everyone else to 
accept to change it.
