The Commission President says she and the British Prime Minister had a "lively and interesting" meeting -- but their positions "remain far apart".
Number 10 Downing Street says it was "frank discussion".
Meanwhile Freight traffic has surged to an unprecedented level on the Irish Sea as Irish importers stock up ahead of the Brexit transition.
Stena Line says the volume it carried last week was up nearly a fifth on the same week last year.
