Hammond expects no major opposition to EU reform plan

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said he did not expect major opposition from other European Union countries to proposals announced earlier on Tuesday that seek to persuade Britons to vote to stay in the EU in a planned referendum. "I would imagine that (European Council President) Donald Tusk would have consulted with key groups of EU leaders and key countries as he's been discussing this emerging text with us," Hammond said in an interview with Sky News television.
