premise: EU leaders agreed Thursday on the urgent need for a budget deal, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said after a first day of negotiations on the issue dividing the bloc.
  "We're talking about money, we're talking about very serious issues for a lot of countries and it's going to be a difficult and tough negotiation," Blair said after chairing a first round of talks at a two-day summit.
  "I think that everybody realises that if we are going to do a deal on the budget, it's now," he added.
  Wrangling over the EU's budget broke off late Thursday with European leaders eagerly awaiting fresh proposals from the EU's British presidency to break the gridlock.
  Blair indicated that Britain would present a set of fresh proposals, so long as there was a point in doing so.
   What will happen if there appears to be a point in new proposals?
