Analysis by Chris Mason, BBC political correspondent
For all the headlines about shaking up migrants' access to benefits, there's another issue in this EU renegotiation that is potentially a bit sticky.
On the face of it, it sounds pretty dry: the rules about what powers countries that use the euro will have, and what powers countries, like the UK, that don't use it will have.
The prime minister wants the UK to be protected from being ganged up on by the majority of EU countries that do use the euro.
Those that do use the single currency don't want too much meddling from the margins as they see it.
Enough to talk about, then, for David Cameron and Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace.
Meanwhile, European Council President Donald Tusk, who is overseeing the renegotiation, has begun a two-day tour of five European countries - beginning with France and Romania - to discuss the draft deal.
The proposed package aimed at keeping the UK in the EU was published at the beginning of February, following months of negotiations between UK and EU officials.
Critics say it falls far short of what is needed but Mr Cameron has said it will deliver the "substantial change" to the EU that he has been demanding.
It includes proposals for an "emergency brake" on benefits, but some countries in eastern Europe, such as Poland, are said to object so moves to scale back welfare payments to migrant workers.
