German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday she was "reasonably confident" that a deal could be found with London to avert the possibility of Britain leaving the European Union, AFP reports.
"What is on the table is no surprise, we want to work on the proposals with a solution-oriented attitude," she said after Prime Minister David Cameron laid out his demands for EU reforms.
"There are some difficult (demands), others that are less difficult, but if we adopt the spirit that we can resolve this, then I am reasonably confident that we can succeed," she told journalists at a joint press conference with visiting South African President Jacob Zuma.
