EU warning for David Cameron ahead of reform talks

The president of the European Council has warned David Cameron that some of his proposals for reform ahead of a referendum on British membership of the EU are unacceptable.

David Cameron is calling for changes to protect the power of national parliaments, to make the EU more competitive and cut red tape.

He also wants to protect countries that do not use the euro from decisions made by those that do.

Most controversially, he wants to ban in-work benefits for migrants for four years ,which is proving to be a sticking point for EU leaders.
