    EU leaders strike deal on 2014-20 budget

    European Union leaders have reached an agreement

    on the bloc's 2014-20 budget, EU President Herman Van Rompuy

    announced on Twitter.

    "Deal done! (European Council) has agreed on MFF for the rest of

    the decade. Worth waiting for," he wrote, using the acronym for the

    budget's official name - the multi-annual financial framework.

    The deal on Friday followed more than 24 hours of talks between the EU's 27 leaders.
