Jerusalem Post:
The resolution, which for the first time refers to "Palestine," calls for a resumption of negotiations that would lead to a Palestinian state with "East Jerusalem" as its capital. According to the official, should the resolution pass it would be the first time the EU has formally called for recognition of east Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
The Swedish proposal, first reported Monday in Ha'aretz, is backed by Britain. But since a number of countries - including Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Poland and Slovenia - do not back the wording, it is likely to go through a number of revisions before being discussed at a monthly meeting of EU foreign ministers on December 7.
