British PM Sets Terms of EU Membership

Writes letter outlining strategy.

British Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to outline his terms in renegotiating his country’s membership in the European Union in a speech on Tuesday. In a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk, Cameron detailed concessions he’d like to achieve in negotiations among EU leaders, including protection of the single market for Britain and other non-euro countries, boosting competitiveness, exempting Britan from “ever-closer union,” and restricting EU migrants’ access to in-work benefits. The letter comes ahead of a referendum to decide whether Britain stays in the 28-nation bloc, due before the end of 2017.
