but not at any cost, the bloc said on Friday.\u00a0 EU chiefs Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen briefed the 27 national leaders on Friday on the latest talks with Britain, which have made precious little progress since London left the bloc in January, and now face an end-year deadline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe jointly stressed our willingness to undertake all possible efforts to come to an agreement,\u201d von der Leyen, the head of the EU\u2019s executive European Commission, told a news conference after the summit. \u201cFor this we have to bridge wide divergences, which remain to be solved.\u201d\u00a0The chairman of EU leaders echoed that sentiment, saying the bloc wanted a new deal with Britain, \u201cbut not at all costs\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to intensify the negotiations,\u201d he told the same news conference, noting that Prime Minister Boris Johnson had refused to seek extra time for the talks beyond the year-end, when Britain\u2019s standstill transition after Brexit runs its course.\u00a0While Johnson wants a loose trade deal with the EU, the bloc is seeking much closer ties for the future covering climate, fishing, transport and security.\u00a0Disagreements over how to guarantee fair competition, fisheries, rules for settling disputes or the role of the EU\u2019s top court have so far prevented progress as the bloc seeks to tie London closely to its rules while Johnson wants to cut his country loose.<\/p>\n<p>German Chancellor Angela Merkel said after the EU discussions on Friday that a deal with Britain must materialise this autumn to leave enough time for ratification before 2021.\u00a0A French official said the leaders agreed that they must stick to their stance on fisheries and the so-called level playing field provisions aimed at ensuring fair competition.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-britain-eu-summit\/eu-wants-new-deal-with-brexit-britain-but-not-at-any-cost-idUSKBN23Q2AW\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union is committed to reaching an agreement with Britain on their new relationship after Brexit &#8211;
