http://x2t.com/37/eu European Union negotiators displayed unity as they met today (27 April) to discuss guidelines for divorce talks with Britain, seeking to forestall differences that could emerge at a later stage of talks. But little signs of possible future spats were evident. Roth urged remaining members not to try to negotiate bilaterally with London, stressing that "leaving the European Union comes at a price, and Britain must pay it". Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs Sebastian Kurz said Vienna would not increase its payments to the EU budget after Britain quits the block, leaving it without one of its main net contributors. "Net contributions will not go up," he insisted. "There will have to be savings."
