"We do not accept time pressure" in UK talks, says French Europe minister

LONDON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - French European Affairs Minister Amelie de Montchalin said on Friday the European Union would not accept "artificial deadlines" in talks on a future relationship with Britain.

On Thursday, the British government said it would walk away from talks on a future relationship with the EU if there had not been "good progress" in the negotiations by June.

"We do not accept time pressure," Montchalin told an audience at Chatham House.
