1st LD: EU leaders say "no single market a la carte" for UK

European Council President Donald Tusk said on Wednesday that leaders of the 27 non-UK European Union countries have agreed that they would not grant Britain access to the block's single market if Britain did not accept EU's rules on free movement of people.

"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 following conclusion of a two-day summit of EU countries' leaders.

Tusk's remarks were echoed by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

"Those wanting access to our single market must implement the four freedoms without exceptions and without nuances," Juncker told the same press conference. Endit
