		</div><p>French President Emmanuel Macron has said the European Union must “learn lessons” from Britain’s decision to leave it.</p>
<p>Speaking from Brussels, Mr Macron said that the exit of a major member state for the first time in the bloc’s history showed “Europe is fragile” and the EU “is not a given”. The French leader said European leaders have a duty to “protect it against all those who forget that it is a guarantee of peace, prosperity and security”.</p>
<p>Mr Macron also paid homage to Prime Minister Theresa May for seeking a “path to durable co-operation” with the EU, while defending UK interests during negotiations. Twenty-seven EU leaders have endorsed a deal that sets out the terms of Britain’s departure on March 29 and sets a framework for future ties.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel described the deal as a “diplomatic piece of art”.</p>
<p>Mrs Merkel, also speaking in Brussels, said: “It’s an historic day, which triggers very ambivalent feelings … it is tragic that the UK is leaving the EU now after 45 years, but we have to, of course, respect the vote of the British people.”</p>
<p>She praised the deal struck “in an extremely difficult situation, in a situation without any precedence because we haven’t had it before that a European country leaves the EU”. Mrs Merkel said, while the agreement was based on very hard negotiations, it “considers both sides’ interest”.</p>
<p>European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker said the UK could not hope to negotiate better terms before its departure in March.</p>
<p>He said: “I am totally convinced this is the only deal possible. Those who think that by rejecting the deal that they would have a better deal will be disappointed the first seconds after the rejection.”</p>
<p>Mrs May was in agreement, saying: “This is the deal that is on the table. It is the best possible deal. It is the only deal.”</p>
