The man who represents the 27 leaders of the European Union warned Thursday of widespread opposition to steps that may be necessary to keep Britain as a member of the bloc.
Herman Van Rompuy, the president of the European Council, said he saw "no impending need to open the E.U. treaties" to address the complaints of countries like Britain that are outside the euro zone and that object to "federal Euroland" rules governing the bloc.
"Nor do I feel much appetite for it around the leaders' table," Mr. Van Rompuy said in a speech he delivered Thursday evening
in London at the Policy Network, a center-left research organization.
