Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said Britain cannot "have its cake and eat it", as the government in London distanced itself from a memo including the aim to have the best of both worlds from Brexit.
In an interview with AFP, Bettel also ruled out any transitional Brexit deal with the European Union to soften the impact of Britain's departure if difficult negotiations are not completed in two years.
"They want to have their cake, eat it, and get a smile from the baker, but not the other things," Bettel said on Monday evening in his office in Luxembourg.
"There are European values which cannot be separated. No cherry-picking."
