Theresa May meeting with Donald Tusk
Their talks came a week before the leaders of the EU’s other 27 member states met in the Slovakian capital Bratislava to discuss the implications of Brexit for the union.

Tusk who, as head of the European Council, leads the body that defines the bloc’s political direction and priorities, said on Twitter that it was “in everybody’s best interest to start ASAP [as soon as possible]”.
Boris Johnson will push the case for a strong trade deal with Australia after Brexit as he meets the nation’s foreign minister for talks in London.
Brussels maintains that the United Kingdom can only retain access to the single market post Brexit if it agrees to the free movement of people. Free movement of workers between European Union member countries, the core element that drove the immigration debate in the United Kingdom before the exit referendum in June, is a political rather than an economic project and should be negotiable, Roettgen said.
Mr Tusk today said: ‘Our goal to establish closest possible EU-UK relations.
It’s hard to say exactly what and how much the United Kingdom should receive of special benefits from the European Union when negotiation their models. “There are very good reasons to think that it is in the interests of the overall economies of the European Union countries, as well as the United Kingdom economy, that London, as Europe’s financial centre, remains broadly as it is”, he told the Lords’ Economic Affairs Committee.
Merkel is sticking to her position that accepting freedom of movement is essential for Britain to participate in the single market once out of the EU, Steffen Seibert, the chancellor’s chief spokesman, told reporters on Wednesday.
But a spokeswoman said May felt little pressure, having won the agreement of European Union officials to take at least until the end of this year to come up with a negotiating stance for the talks that will shape Britain’s relationship with Europe and its future standing in the world.
“There will be some re-structuring in my own Department and in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to ensure a comprehensive approach and we will strengthen staffing in other key Departments and agencies and our missions overseas to ensure we have the capacity to deal with Brexit”, he said.
“We’re looking to see how most effectively we can create the skills and the calibre of negotiators we would require”.
