EU talks: 'Crucial' day for possible Cameron-Tusk deal
- 8 years ago
David Cameron and European Council President Donald Tusk are set for a "crucial" day of talks about the UK's renegotiated membership of the EU.
A meeting on Sunday night ended without a deal, though a Downing Street source said there had been a "breakthrough" on restricting benefits for EU migrants.
Mr Tusk said "intensive work" would be needed during the coming hours.
The aim is to agree a deal to be put to EU leaders ahead of a summit on 18 and 19 February.
An early deal would allow Mr Cameron to call a referendum on the UK's EU membership before the school summer holidays.
After their meeting over dinner on Sunday night, Mr Cameron tweeted that Mr Tusk had agreed to another 24 hours of talks before publishing the UK's draft renegotiation text.
