BRUSSELS, Jumada I 7, 1437, Feb 16, 2016, SPA -- British Prime Minister David Cameron won a commitment from the European Parliament chief Tuesday that the assembly will "do its utmost" to back any fair deal on the EU reforms Cameron is seeking this week ahead of a referendum on whether Britain should remain in the EU, AP reported. Cameron wants European leaders at the two-day summit starting Thursday to boost national decision-making for London, including ways to limit welfare payments to EU workers coming to Britain. The British leader held talks Tuesday amid warnings that any reform package could be vetoed by lawmakers after the referendum because it will not be secured by a change in the EU treaty. "The European Parliament will do its utmost to support compromise and a fair deal but I cannot pre-empt the result" of the legislators, Schulz said after meeting with Cameron. --SPA 16:41 LOCAL TIME 13:41 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
