4:10 p.m.
EU Council President Donald Tusk says his proposal to address Britain’s demand for EU reforms is “balanced” for all but there are still issues to be solved ahead of the forthcoming EU summit.
Speaking after meeting Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka on Tuesday, Tusk said solutions have to be found for issues such as “the EU treaty change, emergency breaks on non-euro area countries, safe guard mechanism on access to benefits and finally the notion of the ever-closer (European) Union.”
He said the limit on benefits for workers is not meant to apply to workers from other states currently working in Britain.
