Cameron aiming for deal with EU

On his ideal timing, British Premier David Cameron will be able to announce an accord Friday (Feb 19) over Britain's terms of membership in the European Union, at the end of a two-day summit in Brussels with other leaders of the 28-nation bloc. Mr Cameron will then fly back to London and chair a Cabinet meeting to secure the support of as many of his ministers as possible.

However, if talks break down, the summit could stretch into Saturday (Feb 20). Cameron is keen to end the week in Brussels with a deal that he can hail as a victory and then start campaigning to keep Britain inside the EU before a referendum most officials expect will be held in late June.
