Tusk Says to Present New Proposal on UK’s Membership in EU Tuesday

European Council President Donald Tusk said he would present a proposal on new terms of Britain’s membership in the European Union on Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Tusk met in London on Sunday in a bid to finalize a batch of draft proposals for EU reform in four areas, set out by London. The draft renegotiation deal will then be scrutinized by EU leaders ahead of a summit on February 18-19.

"Tomorrow around noon I will table proposal for a new settlement for #UKinEU. Good progress last 24 hours but still outstanding issues," Tusk said on Twitter Monday.

​Cameron is seeking to renegotiate his country's EU membership. Brussels said earlier it would consider a four-year "emergency brake" on benefits for new EU migrants – but only if London proves that the UK welfare system is under excessive strain.

Late on Sunday, a Downing Street spokesperson said that Tusk had agreed to the United Kingdom restricting in-work benefits for EU migrants for their first four years in the country, which is one of Cameron’s requirements.
