However, this is the first time in my journalistic career, I saw for myself the give and take that goes on in reaching an agreement at such meetings.

My source expressed disappointment that Brussels had decided to say "no" to so many of Beijing's proposals, as the document showed. He also said the document had largely been watered down.
