Tusk: There is no agreement with the UK

12:11

European Council President Donald Tusk announced on Sunday, after meeting with British Prime Minister David Cameron, that "there is no agreement" about the UK's reformed membership in the EU. A breakthrough was reached on the matter of restricting benefits for EU migrants,  however, the two leaders agreed to extend talks for another day to discuss all other issues pertaining to the UK's membership. "Intensive work in the next 24 hours is  crucial," tweeted Tusk. The time extension means that it will only be revealed on Tuesday whether a renegotiation text will be drafted.  PAP reports that both parties are trying to come to an agreement in time for the European Council meeting on the 18th and 19th of February, where the 27 other member states could accept the agreement with the UK. If this goes according to plan, then the UK could hold a referendum on its future as soon as June.
