Five EU countries have called for the UK to pay for access to the EU's internal electricity market, adding a financial and political dimension to negotiations ahead of the EU-UK summit on November 20, according to a letter seen by Euronews.
The leaders of Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa to make Britain's integration into the EU electricity market conditional on contributions to the bloc's regional development funds.
