ST JULIAN'S, Malta (Reuters) - Pro-European allies of German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday set out a firm line on Britain's exit negotiations, including an exit bill for London among the main priorities of the EU's overall stance.

With control of the main EU institutions in Brussels and counting EU negotiator Michel Barnier among their ranks, the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) will be one of the most important pressure groups behind the scenes of the talks.
