BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union is willing to move in negotiations on future EU-UK relations, but Britain must make a bigger effort to do the same in talks next week, the EU trade chief said on Thursday.

EU trade commissioner Phil Hogan told EU lawmakers that the negotiations had not made much progress to date.
