Brussels, Belgium: The European Union will unveil plans on Tuesday for key changes in Britain's membership, including a "red card" system for parliaments to block laws made by Brussels, in a bid to prevent Britain becoming the first country to leave the bloc.
Both sides have trumpeted "progress" following talks between EU President Donald Tusk and Prime Minister David Cameron at the weekend.
The EU president, who is keen to avoid a so-called "Brexit", warned however there were still "outstanding issues" to resolve.
If he gets an agreement, he will then campaign for Britain to remain in the EU in an in-out referendum that is likely to be held in June.
Former Polish Prime Minister Tusk is due to send the plans to EU leaders on Tuesday morning before releasing them publicly at 1100 GMT, EU officials said.
'Red Card' System
Tusk's draft contained a "red card" system that would allow a group of 55 percent of the EU's national parliaments to stop or change EU laws, which was one of Cameron's goals, the source said.
London has previously warned that there is "more hard work" to do before any summit deal is possible on the four broad policy areas in which Cameron wants reforms.
