BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Britain's new leaders should not expect to have access to the European Union's single market while leaving the bloc and the duties of membership, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said on Tuesday.

"If we have a leader in the U.K. and they think they can use only the advantages of the EU without any solidarity it will not be possible," Michel told Reuters on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels following last week's Brexit referendum.
