European Union leaders have reached agreement in Brussels on an outline
of new rules to govern the 27-member bloc.
They announced a compromise to delay until 2014 a new voting system
that reduces Poland's influence - the main stumbling block. Other
proposals envisage a long-term president and a foreign affairs head.
The new treaty, expected to be finalised later this year, preserves
much of the planned EU constitution, which was rejected by voters in
2005.
The treaty will need to be ratified by each of the EU's member states,
before entering into force in mid-2009.
