BRUSSELS (Reuters) - German European Affairs Minister Michael Roth said on Tuesday he believed talks over Britain's exit from the European Union were going in the right direction and should produce a solution by November.

"I feel that the proposals of the European Union, and they have been on the table for a long time, are an excellent basis for a compromise," Roth told reporters on arrival for a meeting of EU ministers in Brussels. "No one wants to punish the United Kingdom."
