David Cameron has said that he does not expect an agreement to be reached on his EU reform aims at December’s summit of European leaders.
The prime minister said “good progress” had been made in the talks, but the scale of the UK’s aims meant he would not get an agreement “in one go”.
European Council President Donald Tusk said the summit “should pave the way for a deal in February”.
The UK’s PM has promised an in/out vote on EU membership by the end of 2017.
He is said to want to hold an early vote but he has said he will not set the timing of the poll until the negotiations, on Britain’s terms of membership of the 28-member bloc, are concluded.
