European Union and British negotiators reached a tentative agreement on defense and security, fisheries and youth mobility ahead of a EU-U.K. summit on Monday, paving the way for British firms to participate in large EU defense contracts, EU officials said.

Representatives of EU governments in Brussels received a text of a Common Understanding between Britain and the EU and the document is now being approved by all 27 EU governments, the officials said.
