BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union should resolve its differences by talking to each other rather than through court decisions, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday, responding to a question on the dispute with Poland over the rule of law.

"We are all member states of the European Union, which means we have the duty always to try to find compromise - without giving up our principles, obviously," Merkel told reporters after meeting Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo in Brussels.
