The European Union is more unified in its policy towards Britain's leaving the bloc than on anything else in its past. <br/><br/>The new holder of the EU Presidency today said he spoke and visited basically all other 26 EU member states and there's a convergence on the attitude towards Brexit. <br/><br/>Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said this on the sidelines of a diplomatic conference in Slovenia. When asked to comment on the resignation of Ivan Rogers, the British ambassador to the EU, he said that's a totally national issue for them. <br/><br/>The EU said it will not begin negotiations until Britain formally invoked Article 50 of the EU treaty triggering withdrawal. British Prime Minister Theresa May said she will do so by the end of March. Muscat also said the EU needs to secure its borders, stressing those at sea.
