Cameron to detail EU reform 'shopping list'

LONDON • After months without a breakthrough, British Prime Minister David Cameron will finally give more details tomorrow of what reforms he wants for Britain to stay in the European Union before a looming referendum.

Nearly three years after promising a vote before the end of 2017, he will deliver his "shopping list" in a letter to EU president Donald Tusk which is expected to be made public.

In recent weeks, European partners have put increasing pressure on Mr Cameron to lay out in more detail what kind of reforms he wants.
