EU budget: 'Successful 24 hours', says Van Rompuy
The president of the European Council, Herman van Rompuy says a deal has been reached on the next seven-year EU budget.
The leaders of the 27 member states have set a spending ceiling of 908bn euros (£768bn; $1.2tn), significantly less than the sum originally proposed by the European Commission.
The agreement comes after a night of frantic negotiations.
