EU SUMMIT France's Chirac says leaders heading towards budget deal

BRUSSELS (AFX) - French president Jacques Chirac said EU leaders are heading 'little by little' toward a deal on the bloc's 2007-13 budget. Speaking as the UK's EU presidency is about to make a fresh budget proposal, Chirac said talks so far have been 'fairly positive' but added that he cannot predict whether they will result in an agreement. 'Not everything is resolved but we are heading little by little towards a solution ... which would allow us to get out of this difficulty, this impasse,' he said.
