Compromise And Barter

I joined a group of journalists covering environmental and energy issues on a tour to the European Parliament and the European Commission this week. The talks were very informative - although everything seems to await the trialogue negotiations between the council, the parliament, and the commission end of March. And the pending white book on the issues this April. But what can you do as negotiator if you've bartered until the early hours of the morning - and then some East block representative wakes up and says Njet?
