LONDON: A demand from the European Union for an extra payment worth $2.7 billion would not be welcome news for any European leader. For Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain, the request on Friday comes at a particularly difficult time, as he faces a crucial electoral battle with a populist party that wants the nation to walk away from the European Union.

Cameron quickly rejected the demand as "totally unacceptable."

The request for the money, which is about 1.7 billion pounds, came after a recalculation of data showed that the British economy performed better in recent years than previously thought. That suggested that its payments into the EU budget should rise according to the bloc's formula for contributions. The payment would come in addition to Britain's annual payment of about $13.8 billion to the bloc's treasury.

In a country where membership in the European Union has become contentious, the demand is being portrayed as a punishment for Britain's relative economic success compared with the performance of its neighbors on the Continent.

Speaking at a news briefing at an EU summit meeting in Brussels, Cameron described the additional fee as "unjustified" and said Britain would refuse to pay it.

"If people think I am paying that on Dec. 1 - no, that is not happening," said Cameron, who added that European finance ministers would meet to review the calculations used to come up with what he called a "vast" sum of taxpayers' money.

The British leader described Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy as saying that the cash claim was a "lethal weapon" used by EU officials "without a heart or a soul."

In theory, the extra contribution should be paid by Dec. 1, although Britain will most likely seek to delay and reduce the amount. Cameron has promised that he will renegotiate the terms of British membership in the EU if he is re-elected next year and that he will hold a referendum in 2017 on whether to stay in the bloc.

For the prime minister, the timing and nature of the budget dispute could hardly be worse. He has tried to convince Britons that he has already made headway on overhauling the EU, in part by insisting that it reduce overall spending.

European Union leaders agreed early Friday to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the 28-nation bloc to at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

The deal was aimed at countering climate change and setting an example for the rest of the world ahead of key international climate negotiations next year.

A package agreed by leaders at an EU summit in the early hours of Friday after lengthy negotiations also requires climate-friendly, renewable energy to provide at least 27 percent of the bloc's needs and demands that energy efficiency increase by at least 27 percent in the next 16 years.

"It was not easy, not at all, but we managed to reach a fair decision," said European Council President Herman Van Rompuy. "It sets Europe on an ambitious yet cost-effective climate and energy path."

The decision makes the EU the first major economy to set post-2020 emissions targets ahead of a global climate pact that is supposed to be adopted next year in Paris. Other countries including the U.S. and China are bound to be measured against the EU goals as they present their own emissions targets.

The EU pledges will carry weight because they come from an economic powerhouse. The combined Gross Domestic Product of EU member states is larger than that of the United States, which has the greatest GDP of any single nation. The bloc says it is responsible for less than 10 percent of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

EU leaders also pledged to increase the amount of energy countries can trade with one anothera move pushed for by Spain and Portugal, which want to be able to sell renewable energy they generate.

Van Rompuy said that countries should be able to import or export 15 percent of their power by 2030, saying the move would help match energy supply and demand across borders.

"This agreement keeps Europe firmly in the driving seat in international climate talks ahead of the Paris summit next year," said EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said.
