British Prime Minister David Cameron says he can't put a time frame on negotiating his country's new relationship with the EU

BRUSSELS — British Prime Minister David Cameron is saying after meeting fellow European Union leaders that “everyone wants to see a clear model appear” for his country’s future relations with the bloc.

But Cameron said there was “a lot of understanding” at what will likely be his final EU summit that London needs time to formally trigger the start of negotiations.

He said that he “can’t put a time frame on that.”

Cameron acknowledged that “it is impossible to have all of the benefits of membership without some of the costs of membership.”
