BRUSSELS (AP) – The Latest on talks on a deal for Britain at the European Union summit (all times local):

10:40 a.m.

French President Francois Hollande is insisting that new European Union rules for Britain should maintain strict financial regulation.

France is putting up tougher-than-expected resistance to British Prime Minister David Cameron’s push for EU reform ahead of a British referendum on whether to stay in the 28-nation union.

Arriving for the second and final day of an EU summit in Brussels on Friday, Hollande said there is still work to be done before reaching a deal with Britain despite talks that stretched nearly until dawn.
