'Cameron begins EU reforms push'
UK Prime Minister David Cameron says he is convinced that he can push ahead with reforming Britain’s relationships with the EU as he seeks talks with other European leaders.
At a summit in Latvia, the Prime Minister is expected to propose his changes to other European leaders including restrictions on the benefits for migrants. Cameron has constantly said he will fight for a better deal for Britain, but it appears that there are certain red lines that both sides do not want to breach.
EU leaders have consistently said that the freedom of movement for all EU citizens is something they simply will not negotiate on. It is this point that the likes of UKIP will seek to exploit come what the referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU. They will say that no one can control immigration to Britain without reforming this principle of free movement of people.
"All I will say is that there will be ups and downs. You will hear one day that 'this is possible'; the next day something is impossible…But one thing through all this will be constant and this is my determination to deliver for the British people a reform of the EU so they get a proper choice in that referendum we will hold before the end of 2017, that will be constant," says the PM.
David Cameron knows that he will have to go on the charm offensive in order to convince EU leaders to help him in his quest for reform. There will need to be sacrifices made on both sides of the debate. The EU does not want to see Britain leave and most people in the UK don’t want to leave. The Labour party, Plaid Cymru, SNP, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens all want to remain in the EU, with UKIP wanting to leave.
