Brussels (AFP) – EU leaders agreed Wednesday that Britain cannot have access to the single market after leaving the union without accepting the bloc’s rules on free movement, president Donald Tusk said.
“Leaders made it crystal clear today that access to the single market requires acceptance of all four freedoms including freedom of movement,” Tusk told a news conference.
“There will be no single market a la carte,” Tusk added after the 27 leaders met without British Prime Minister David Cameron.
