Following the announcement of an agreement reached between the UK and EU officials on Britain’s status in the EU, President of the European Council Donald Tusk and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker discussed the deal at a joint presser in Brussels on Friday.
“No one is happy 100 percent. But what we achieved today is a reasonable and responsible agreement and what is our intention is to help to keep the UK in the EU," Said Tusk. "It is legally binding and irreversible decision by all 28 leaders. The settlement addresses all of Prime Minister Cameron's concerns without compromising our fundamental values," he concluded.
David Cameron announced earlier in the evening that EU officials agreed a deal to keep Britain within the EU following talks in Brussels. The new settlement makes key adjustments to areas including the UK’s further political integration into the EU, its fiscal decentralisation from Brussels, UK benefits for migrants, and its financial ties to the EU. Despite reaching the agreement the UK is still expected to hold an in/out referendum on the country's EU membership before 2017.
