// Dear colleagues,
I have no doubt that due to the negative outcome of the UK referendum we will mostly need to devote our European Council to a discussion on its political consequences. It is my intention to ensure that we have sufficient space to debate both with Prime Minister Cameron, and then separately with the 27 Heads of State or Government.
On Wednesday the 27 Heads of State or Government will meet informally to discuss the political and practical implications of ‘Brexit’. First of all, we will discuss the so called ‘divorce process’ as described in Art. 50 of the Treaty. And secondly, we will start a discussion on the future of the European Union with 27 Member States.
Salutations

It is an informal gathering rather than a special meeting. Still not convinced that it is a snubb intended as an insult, or whether Cameron communicated to them that he was unavailable because of PMQs so they have met without him.

because UK is still a member of the EU and heis the prime minister
Logic has not been a great mover in this debate
No informal discussions before Art 50 is activated and there they are -discussing informally themselves before Art 50
Jean Claude Plonker saying - art 50 has been activated because he was watching the television and he saw the result was Brexit
( excuse me ! did he really say that ? )
