EU looks to May to help fix hole in calendar

EU host Belgium might also enable a solution by filling a gap left by London, EU sources told Reuters on Wednesday. At issue is Britain's scheduled six-month spell in charge of EU ministerial councils in the second half of 2017, a Union tradition known as the presidency.
